Hi Harm,

Thank you very much for your swift reply. I think your example B is
similar in output to my example B' - it would be great to get a tie
underneath instead of a slur\phrasing slur, so that the whole effect is
more like that of example A. I suppose it's not vital, but Lilypond has
always proved so flexible in the past, that it seemed likely that that
would be a way to get exactly what was wanted. Is it inevitable that
Lilypond will tie both notes if they are the same in the same note column,
unless one specifies otherwise? And how might one do that!?
