Christof, the following source works OK for me:

===================================================
1 1 4 4 4 4 0 0
0 4 20 0

t
.\
Abepl
g04 t | g t t+.5+.5 | g t+.5-.5 t | g t t /
g04 t t | g t t+1+1 | g t+1-1 t | g t t /
g04 t t | g t t | g t t+2+2 | g t+2-2 t /
g04 t t | g t t | g t t | g t t /
g04 t t | g t t | g t t | g t /
===================================================

Maybe I don't understand the problem. It appears to me that the limit on tie
adjustments occurs only with bitmapped slurs/ties, but not postscript. Are
you using bitmapped slurs/ties? If so, why not use postscript?

If you, Christian, or others have problems with the appearance of postscript
slurs/ties, perhaps we can change the way they look. I vaguely recall
sometime in the deep dark past making some such adjustments. I'd have to do
some digging to see if they're embedded in my system.
