all of whose notes tie to a chord at the end.  As using actual ties would
become an illegible mess, the composer wrote a laissez vibrer after each
note, and then short "pickup" ties in front of the chord.   I can't see any
obvious way to write these, other than writing each as a tie from the
original note and then shortening them all with a shape for each one -
which would be tedious, messy, and non-robust (as the parameters would need
to be adjusted every time the layout of the score was adjusted).
