In case it is easy to implement a `minimum-length-broken' property,
please proceed!  It would magically improve *a lot* of scores, I
guess.

>From a philosophical point, however, such a fix basically goes into
the wrong direction.  IMHO, `minimum-length' should do what its name
advertises, namely controlling the length of the tie, and not the
distance between its associated note heads.  The current
implementation is completely unpredictable in tight typesetting
situations if there are accidentals and/or chords.
