Tie curvature direction
The direction of tie curvatures is determined by the stem direction of the notes/chords at each
end of the tie, the number of notes in chords at each end, and the number of voices on the staff.
Tied single notes in single-voice contexts
If a single voice is active and a tie joins two single notes, tie curvature direction is determined by
the stem directions of the notes at either end of the tie.
●
If the stem directions match, the tie curves away from the notes and is positioned on the
notehead side.
