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
