Fwd: Tie at end of first repeat

[Brent Annable]

Forwarding the message I sent to Xavier, forgot to include the group.

THAT is an AWESOME suggestion, and works like a charm. Thanks Xavier!

Now I also feel incredibly stupid. Is this tip already in the manual somewhere? If it isn't, I think it would make a valuable addition as it solves the problem quickly and easily without any excessive tweaking.

Brent.

This is a workaround, but you could use  \laissezVibrer  instead of
using \repeatTie .

Hope that helps (a little).
