Re: Unable to tie chords together in chordmode

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you typeset your chords using a ChordNames context,
\new ChordNames \harmonies
then there is no support for ties. On the other hand, if you typeset the
chords using normal notes,
\new Staff \harmonies
then you will of course also get the ties. So, it really has nothing to 
do with
\chordmode per se.

I tried to add the tie engraver (the functions handling ties) to the 
ChordNames
context, but the only thing that happens is that you get rid of the 
warning.
LilyPond is still unable to print the ties, since they are connected to 
note heads.

What kind of layout did you expect for ties between chords?
