Tie directions are different when crossing a barline (?)

[James Harkins]

Hi,

Here's a case where the tie configuration is calculated differently depending 
on a factor that should make no difference: whether or not the tie crosses the 
bar line.

Possible to work around more or less by an override, although 
#'tie-configuration is not the easiest one to work with and the results here 
are less than professional.

Bug report?

\version "2.15.36"

\score {
  \relative c' {
    <c d e g a>4^"tie w/in bar" ~ q4 r4

    <c d e g a>4^"tie over bar" ~ q4
    r4 r4
    
    \override TieColumn #'tie-configuration
      = #'((0 . 1) (-1.5 . 1) (-3.5 . 1) ( -6.0 . -1) (-7.0 . -1))
    <c d e gs a>4^"closer; not perfect" ~ q4
    
    r4 r2
  }
  % this is there only to increase the amount of space between notes
  % so you can see what the ties are really doing
  \layout {
    \context {
      \Score
      \override SpacingSpanner
        #'base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1 16)
    }
  }
}
