Re: tie direction problems

[Nick Didkovsky]

Thanks James

I was using 2.11.37 when I reported this problem
I upgraded to  2.12.2 but the problem remains, unfortunately
I am reluctant to use tieUp tieDown because then I will need to specify 
stem direction as well. These are things LilyPond has been doing fine 
without my specifying and I'd like to keep it that way. It makes better 
decisions about stem directions than I do. And it is only this situation 
when there is more than one voice on the staff where the problem arises.
Is this an acknowledged bug with a chance of a fix?

Best
