#### Tie

Tie objects are created by: Completion_heads_engraver and Tie_engraver

Standard settings:

`control-points` (list):
  `ly:tie::calc-control-points`

  List of offsets (number-pairs) that form control points for the tie/slur/bracket shape. For beziers, this should list the control points of a 3rd order bezier curve.

`avoid-slur` (symbol):
  `'inside`

  Method of handling slur collisions. Choices are `around`, `inside`, `outside`. If unset, script and slur ignore eachother.

`direction` (direction):
  `ly:tie::calc-direction`

  #UP or #DOWN, #LEFT or #RIGHT? (or a numerical value, #UP=1, #DOWN=-1, #LEFT=-1, #RIGHT=1, CENTER=0)

`font-size` (number):
  `-6`

  The font size, compared the `normal' size. 0 is style-sheet's normal size, -1 is smaller, +1 is bigger. Each step of 1 is approximately 12% larger, 6 steps are exactly a factor 2 larger. Fractional values are allowed.

`thickness` (number):
  `1.2`

  Bar line thickness, measured in `line-thickness`.

`line-thickness` (number):
  `0.8`

  The thickness of the tie/slur contour.
