So I have made a custom notehead for slap tongue. Now, this instance comes at the start of a tie chain, and if I make a tie, it alters all the notes in the chain to be the slap tongue notehead. While I can see an argument for that, is there any way to make a tie here at the start without this happening?
This what the composer wants, and I don’t really want to have to have debates about the musical correctness or otherwise of this, if it can be helped. [I am aware there is an argument that this does not make sense.]
