5027: NR example with bad engraving practice

[Simon Albrecht]

Hello,

I know this is a bit on the edge of being too keen on my part, but I 
don’t consider this controversial at all from my engraving experience 
and knowledge of current best practice.

NR 1.2.1.d 
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/writing-rhythms#ties> 
correctly says that ‘Ties should also be used when note values cross 
larger subdivisions of the measure’. However the example highlights (in 
4/4 time)

8 8~ 2 r4

as good example, where the half note still crosses the largest 
subdivision in the measure.

8 4.~ 4 r4

is clearly preferable.

I created a ticket 
<https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/5027/>, but since I 
don’t have access to my Google account right now, I can’t upload the 
patch to Rietveld myself; it’s attached to the issue and to this e-mail.

Best, Simon
