Re: How to shorten ties?

[Mats Bengtsson]

To find out what properties are available, follow the link
to "Tie" at the bottom of the section on Ties. The list you
see there contains only the properties that are set by default,
to see all available properties, you have to browse through
all the interfaces at the bottom of the page.
However, already here you see some interesting properties,
including x-gap (that you might want to increase) and
minimum-length (that you might want to decrease).
