Thanks, but the question was not, "How do I make the tie look better?" The 
question was, "What is the best way to notate this content?" Or, "If you're a 
professional engraver given this to typeset as a job, how would you change it 
to make the intent clearer?"

If the answer is, "nothing, just make the tie look better," then I'm fine with 
that... but I want to be sure this is the question that's being answered.

Thanks,
James
