I would forget ties and do them as slurs. Drawing a slur from a note to nowhere in particular works for the beginning of a tie, and similarly for the end. It will play back as if not tied, but if printed output is what you're after it works beautifully. Each "half" tie, being a complete slur, is adjustable at both ends, etc. Let me know if this is what you wanted! I'd be tickled to have actually been of use for once on this list...
