Hi Pierre, Thank you. Much better, at least for the first bar. The price for this improvement seems to be that the ties have become somewhat disconnected from their note-heads, which is tolerable for the first bar in the example but not really nice for he second.
Experimenting a bit with the value of the note-head gap I found that 6 instead of 8 yields a reasonable compromise for me.
