New short and long lyric ties.

New short and long lyric ties.

[Bertrand Bordage, 2011-08-17 17:39:40]

Hi everyone,

This follows 8d148ea05fa4b34f8cc3407e112363d715b27ad8

This is fully working, except for a small issue in make doc.
The two examples I put in the doc are working alone, but not with make doc:
there should be short ties in "~è~", but we mysteriously get medium ties.
This works if we change "è" for an ASCII character.
I think this is somehow due to an encoding issue in the "make doc" process.

Cheers,
Bertrand

Metafont stuff LGTM.  I can't really speak for the scheme stuff, but i've looked
at the example in the tracker and i'm not sure if long ties should really be
used.  They overshoot vovels.

cheers,
Janek

Thanks Janek.

Does someone else thinks the long tie should be removed?

Passes make, a full make doc and reg tests.

It is indeed strange that short ties don't work with accented e.  Can
anyone verify Bertrand's suspection that encoding in "make doc" is to
blame?

cheers,

New patch set.

After thinking about that during three weeks, I decided to remove the long tie
and even reduce the length of the default tie. Janek, thank you for showing me
that overshooting vowels was useless and maybe disturbing.

I also changed the "è" for a "e"...

Thanks,
Bertrand
