Well, ties on other notes seem to be positioned just above or
below the notes (unless they're in a interval/chord) which I think
is the standard. I guess it does boil down to a matter of taste in
the end, but I don't think I've seen ties in a professional score
be positioned the way they are for treble F4, treble E5, etc. in
LilyPond, not for single notes anyway. Either that, or I
overlooked them. It just looks inconsistent and it's slightly
grated on me since I first started used this program in 2014,
though only now have I thought to discuss it.
For comparison, I've attached an image I found of how ties
usually look at treble E5.

Hi Robert,
For me, I see nothing strange - I think this is a matter of
taste. I don't have the standard text Behind Bars to quote
from, but I feel this is a matter of personal judgement.
Without resorting to adjusting the TieColumn, you could take a
look at the Tie.details list. There ought to be enough
tunability in there to suit you (although I am well aware of
the Tie Crusade. Whatever happened to that by the way?)
I don't think it is actually an issue, requiring a patch.
Tell us how you want it to look.
