I second that.  Especially in chords, short ties are moved too much
vertically from the `correct' place.  IMHO, this:

  --___-------------___---
   /   \   _____   /   \
   \___/  /     \  \___/
  ------------------------

looks *really* bad.  A tie, regardless of being short or long, must
not be placed completely between two staff lines if the notes are also
between the same two lines.

For further references I suggest that you take a Henle or UE edition
of Beethoven's piano sonatas (the later ones).
