They are commonly worn as a part of formal attire or as a fashion accessory and are often seen in professional settings such as business meetings or interviews. Ties can be worn with a dress shirt and suit, or with a more casual outfit to add a touch of sophistication.

What is a "tie"?

A tie is a heavy, flat piece of material, usually made of wood, concrete, or steel, placed beneath railway rails to hold them in place and keep the track stable. Ties help maintain the correct distance between the rails, ensuring smooth and safe train travel. They also absorb the weight and pressure from trains passing over the track, preventing damage to the rail system. Ties are spaced regularly along the track and are an essential part of the infrastructure, providing support and durability to the rail system.

Example

The wooden tie was replaced due to rot.

She saw workers laying new ties along the track.

He counted the ties between each rail section.

liaison

a curved line written over a pair of notes of the same pitch indicating that they should be played as one note

What is a "tie"?

A tie is a musical symbol that connects two notes of the same pitch, indicating that they should be played as a single, continuous note. It is represented by a curved line placed above or below the notes that are to be joined. The tie combines the durations of the connected notes, so if a note is tied from one measure to the next, the performer holds the note for the total combined length without rearticulating it. This helps create a smooth, uninterrupted sound and allows for longer note values across measure boundaries.

affiliation
