It doesn't end at the wrong note, it just cuts right through the note
above the ending note.  2.9.16-1 does it exactly the same way.  LP
doesn't appear to take tie-note collision into consideration.

Is there a way to manually control where the tie ends, or to avoid
note-tie collisions?

Alright, thanks.  I forget where I saw the double thing, I just kind
