I second that. Especially in chords, short ties are moved too much
vertically from the `correct' place. IMHO, this:
--___-------------___---
/ \ _____ / \
\___/ / \ \___/
------------------------
looks *really* bad. A tie, regardless of being short or long, must
not be placed completely between two staff lines if the notes are also
between the same two lines.
For further references I suggest that you take a Henle or UE edition
of Beethoven's piano sonatas (the later ones).
