Re: flatten ties ~ proportional notation.

[Rob Canning]

ok so i have flattened the tie with:

\override Tie #'details #'height-limit = #0

next i want to make sure all the ties start emerging from the actual 
note so there is no vertical offset

i looked here for other tweekables:
/usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/scm/define-grobs.scm

and tried :
\override Tie #'Y-offset = #0
and
\override TieColumn #'tie-configuration = #'((0 . 0)) 
and
\override Tie #'note-head-gap = #0
amongst others

obviously i am not tweeking in the right place...

clues ?

thanks

rob
