Steve D posted a long email that pertains to ties between single and
multiple voice sections of notation of polyphonic instruments.

He later wrote:

From my point of view, the bug, if there is a bug besides the fact that the tie is not visible because it is so short, is that the tie stops short of an accidental symbol that is not associated with the note being tied, and in addition, that note happens to be the top (or
bottom) note of a chord.

It seems to me that, ideally, when either the top or bottom note of a chord is tied, the tie should extend from notehead to notehead, or from the first notehead to an accidental (if there is one) preceding the second notehead, *if* and only if that accidental belongs to the note being tied instead of another note in close proximity (another note that is perhaps an interval of a second or third from the note being tied). Otherwise, if it is a top or bottom note of a chord, the tie should (again, merely from my current perspective) arc over (or under) the accidental symbol of another note in order to nearly connect to the notehead of the note that is being tied. (if that makes any sense) :-)

I can imagine cases where the current behavior of LilyPond (2.11.13 in this case) would seem appropriate, if the tie is between two notes that are not at the top or bottom of a chord.
