Incorrect tie placement with partially-tied chords

[Chris Snyder]

\version "2.13.10"

% In situations where some notes of a chord are tied but others are not,
% tie placement is often incorrect, requiring manual tuning. I run into
% this situation a lot when I engrave organ music.

\score {
\new Staff \relative c' {
% The output makes it look like the C is tied instead of the E:
<c e~ g>4 <c e g>

% Better:
\override Tie #'staff-position = #-4.5 <c e~ g> <c e g>
}
}

Thanks,
Chris
