\version "2.14.1"

\score {
  \new Staff {

    \times 4/5 { <cs' d'' b''>16\< <cs' d'' b''><cs' d'' b''><cs' d'' b''><cs' 
d'' b''>~ }
    <cs' d'' b''>16 <cs' d'' b''>8.

    %% Here: the tie on the D's looks funny
    %% Too tall? Left-hand endpoint is not aligned with the B tie?
    ~ 

    <cs' d'' b''>8 [ <b d'' a''>->\mf ]
  }
}

It looks even funnier at lower resolution, somewhat better when viewed up close.

I'm aware of \override TieColumn #'tie-configuration but would just as soon 
avoid it if possible.

Unrelated question -- I had asked a week or two ago if there is any 
more-convenient way to write repeated chords without copying and pasting the 
<...> expressions. I don't recall seeing an answer on the list. If the answer 
is "no," it would help me to know that for sure so that I can quit wondering.

Thanks,
James
