Ties between bottom two staff lines and top two staff lines positioned strangely

[Robert Murdoch]

Hi,

Two days ago, I posted a topic to the mailing list called "Tie Crusade: 
The Revenge" where I informed that ties 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) are positioned strangely; they 
are positioned between the notes and touch the staff lines.

In retrospect, I should not have called the topic "Tie Crusade: The 
Revenge" because it gives no clue as to what I'm talking about in the 
post. Unsurprisingly, nobody replied.

Is there any way to fix the tie issue without applying \override 
TieColumn.tie-configuration = #'((dir . position)) to every tie that is 
positioned like this? And will there be a patch for this?
