The attached image most emphatically does _not_ use a tie but a slur.
There is a world of difference between the two: the _tie_ would mean to
_hold_ the a while you play g and b ending a smattering before the beat
and only then release the a after its tied part has ended. It would be
very strange to write it like this, however.
A slur means to run notes into another. A tie means to have only one
note in the first place (so you can only tie equal pitches). A slur on
equal pitches, when executed on the piano, would usually be played with
alternating fingers with the second striking before the first has
completely left the key. A tie just means to do nothing and hold the
note for the added duration of the tied notes.
So you probably wanted
\version "2.19.49"
{
b
\afterGrace a( { g16 b a) } g4 g
}
and that still works without a hitch and is even simpler. So where was
the actual problem?
