#### Tie

Tie objects are created by: Completion_heads_engraver and Tie_engraver

Standard settings:

`print-function` (procedure):
  `Tie::print`

  Function taking grob as argument, returning a `Stencil` object.

`spacing-procedure` (procedure):
  `Spanner::set_spacing_rods`

  Procedure for calculating spacing parameters. The routine is called after `before-line-breaking-callback`.

`staffline-clearance` (dimension, in staff space):
  `0.35`

  How far away ties keep from staff lines.

`thickness` (number):
  `1.2`

  Bar line thickness, measured in `linethickness`.

`x-gap` (dimension, in staff space):
  `-0.1`

  The horizontal gap between note head and tie.

`y-offset` (dimension, in staff space):
  `0.6`

  Extra vertical offset for ties away from the center line.

`minimum-length` (dimension, in staff space):
  `2.5`

  Try to make a spanner at least this long. This requires an appropriate routine for the `spacing-procedure` property.

This object supports the following interfaces: spanner-interface, tie-interface and grob-interface
