All,
it seems that Lilypond still manages the tied chords poorly, and the
ties in chords collide very often.
e.g. see:

imho this problem should be solved to avoid "poor looking" spots in the
otherwise gorgeously engraved lilypond scores, so I would be willing to
sponsor a feature which helps to improve this issue.
Anyone would like to join forces (budget) with me to help me to afford
the sponsoring? :)
My suggestion would be to extend the TieColumn object to have a
"direction" property for each tie, e.g. in a list. Then the user could
override it's own positioning "algorithm" more or less like this:
The solution that you propose can relatively easily be added, but I
think it is a poor man's substitute for the real thing, which is
automatic formatting.
I think that it should be possible to automate it, and I would gladly
work on this as a sponsored feature. It would be a somewhat bigger
feature (perhaps 800 eur, I'm not sure yet), as the Tie formatting needs
to be redone. I'll have a look this week what is involved. If there is a
need for more sponsors, I can put up an announcement on lilypond.org.
