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.
