change curve height of a tie?

I don't see an option to change the curve height of a tie. I'm not seeing it if I make the note an independent note. Nor am I seeing an option in the extended layout parameters in the score editor.

 

I thought the Vertical Position might be the way, but I'm not seeing a change in the tie's height, even if I go to negative values.

Am I not seeing something that is available to us in Logic?

 

Thanks.

Hi Antaren

Tie vertical positioning is working here. The tie moves up and down.

However, if you want to visually change the height of the arc of the tie... that is a different matter.

I don't know any setting for that, but I have a work around that is tedious.

Frances, this is indeed what I want to do. Thank you for taking the time to figure this out. I will wait and see if there are other options. If not, either I will proceed to implement your instructions or live with the tie the way it is.

Are you sure you are working with a tie? pls see below and let me know if this is what you want.. if so we then can figure out why you are not seeing this....

 

Volovicg. Yes, it is my desire to work with a tie. Like in your example, I can move the vertical & horizontal position. I didn't write clearly. I can see the tie moving when I change the vertical and horizontal numbers, but I was looking for a way to flatten the curve. I'm working on a SATB choral arrangement. In a few of the measures, three of the parts have lots of words and shorter duration notes, however the bass part has only one word, and one held note that goes into another bar. I was looking to flatten the curve. Other shorter ties, like the one in your example, looks fine the way it is. I will just leave it the way it is. Thanks to you and to Frances.

any chance you could post a screenshot of your description above...(if convenient)

Volovicg--Here's a screenshot. What I did, was change up the staff layout a bit and made some more room between the alto and tenor parts. It's still looks crowded, but I can live with it. And looking at it this morning, I can bring up the crescendo a bit more. I don't think it's worth taking the time to try re-creating Frances' creative out-of-the-box solution.

 

Thanks.

Volovicg, is that a new menu in 10.4.x? I don't see it in 10.3.3. Or am looking in the wrong place.

In the score editor, check in Layout>Extended Layout Parameters... or do ctrl+option+shift X

Yes it is.. It was introduced in 10.4 and has grown in the number of available parameters from 10.4 to 10.4.8

Also - you might want to consider an automatic slur in place of a tie...... as you can in fact control the curvature distance..... see below

Volovicg, I could do this after I'm finished working on the score, but not while I need to listen to it while doing the arrangement. Instead of hearing a tied note (one note), I'd be hearing a whole note then another note. Could work. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes that is up to you - but the quick solution to that is to elongate the whole note by 3 beats (won’t change the way it looks) ( you can use duration bar or key command to make longer - just an FYI

Interesting, Volovicg. I didn't know that was available.
