Subject: Tie minimum length
The NR for 2.19.82 in section 3.2.128 'tie interface' states:
I think you mean the IR.
min-length
If the tie is shorter than this amount (in staff-spaces) an
increasingly large length penalty is incurred.
But if I use this an error is thrown. Using minimum-length works fine.
warning: cannot find property type-check for `min-length'
(backend-type?). perhaps a typing error?
warning: skipping assignment
Is this a mistake in the manual for the name?
No. min-length is a property in the details list. It must be set like
this:
\override Tie.details.min-length = ...
However, it doesn't do what you expect - it merely feeds into the length
penalty.
To specify a minimum length for the tie you should use minimum-length,
as you discovered.
This is defined in the spanner-interface, used by Tie.
