Most of the ties placed by the default behavior of the newly
rewritten tie code look great, as shown in the regression tests
for tie-chord.ly:

It is so nice to have this aspect of LilyPond improved. Thank you
Han-Wen.
In addition, it is satisfying to be able to manually format ties
in some of the extreme cases (multiple intervals of a second
spaced closely within a chord, etc.).
I admit that I am a little confused about the newly implemented
manual tie configuration, as exemplified by:
\override TieColumn #'tie-configuration =
#'((0 . -1) (2 . -1) (5.5 . 1) (7 . 1))
<b d f g> ~ <b d f g>
In each pair of parameters following the "#'tie-configuration ="
I assume that the second parameter represents the direction of
the tie (-1 for a downward arc and 1 for an upward arc), and I
assume that the first parameter represents the vertical location
of each tie, but I can't figure out exactly what the numbers (0,
2, 5.5, 7 in the example above) correspond with or refer to.
Anyway, it's wonderful to have this improved functionality.

P.S. I paid my co-sponsor pledge for the tie rewriting using
PayPal. Is the use of PayPal now discouraged? (A few messages in
lilypond-devel seemed to indicate that might be.) If so, what is
now a preferred method to send donations/sponsorship funds?
