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.
Thanks again,
Best regards
Robert
