To me that seems like it would be a good default behavior.

In addition, although I am personally very impressed and pleased 
with the new tie behavior in general, and love the fact that tie 
configuration can be manually adjusted, it seems to me (as I 
mentioned in a recent post, and I wonder if others agree) that in 
tied chords, the ties for the outer notes (uppermost and 
lowermost notes of the chord), when they appear on a staff 
*space* rather than a staff line, would look better if the ties 
were placed, not horizontally within the same space that the 
outermost notes occupy, as seems to be the default behavior now, 
but instead within the staff space just above the staff space 
that the tied notes occupy (in the case of the uppermost note of 
the tied chord), or within the staff space just below the staff 
space that the tied notes occupy (in the case of the lowermost 
note of the tied chord).
