It's not precise enough for piano music. In most situations, ties should follow voices, and only in some specific situations an inter-voice ties is needed. IMHO the ideal solution would be to extend the `\=' syntax to cover inter-voice slurs, e.g., \relative c' { \clef "bass" \time 3/4 << { <g b>2. \=1~ } \\ { f4 e2 \=1~ } \\ { d!2. \=1~ } >> <d e g b>2.\@1 } `\@' is my ad-hoc suggestion to identify a chord (or whatever) as a receiver of the corresponding tag.
