Long notes can be converted automatically to tied notes. This is done by replacing the Note_heads_engraver by the Completion_heads_engraver. In the following examples, notes crossing the bar line are split and tied.
\new Voice \with { \remove "Note_heads_engraver" \consists "Completion_heads_engraver" } { c2. c8 d4 e f g a b c8 c2 b4 a g16 f4 e d c8. c2 }
This engraver splits all running notes at the bar line, and inserts ties. One of its uses is to debug complex scores: if the measures are not entirely filled, then the ties exactly show how much each measure is off.
Not all durations (especially those containing tuplets) can be represented exactly; the engraver will not insert tuplets.
Examples: input/regression/completion-heads.ly.
Program reference: Completion_heads_engraver.
