controlling the tie "gap" [and a possible bug?]

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi all,

On my setup (Mac OS X, Lilypond 2.19.80), the code

\version "2.18.2"
\fixed c'' { e4*4/5( d c)( d e) }

gives

1. Is the crossing of the ties a bug?

2. Regardless, is there a way I can make all ties to begin a little bit further to the right and end a little further to the left of the centre of each notehead, so there is a gap between consecutive ties?

Thanks,

Kieren.
