Tie Crusade: The Revenge

[Robert Murdoch]

Salutations,

Ties for notes between the bottom two staff lines (e.g. treble F4, bass 
A2, alto G3) and between the top two staff lines (e.g. treble E5, bass 
G3, alto F4) appear to be positioned incorrectly by default. They begin 
and end between the notes instead of slightly above or below them, and 
they touch the staff lines. Sorry if I didn't explain this properly, but 
this has slightly bugged me ever since I first started using LilyPond in 
2014 (though only now did it occur to me to talk about it here).

I am able to use the tie-configuration command of TieColumn to position 
them the way I think they ought to be positioned, but of course doing 
this for every one of them in a score is time-consuming. There is also a 
blog post about tie positions on the official LilyPond blog:
