to be improved: short tie within staff from line is verticallyexaggerate

[Heikki Johannes Junes]

After looking at your examples (in PDF-files), at

  http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2003-10/msg00420.html

it looks like the small slurs are clear in the sense that they do not
merge with the staff line. Therefore, both slurs have the right heights.

What could be improved, is the roundness of the taller short slur. IMHO,
the beatifulness of the slurs corresponds to the mathematical definition
that the curvature of the slur increases from the center of the slur to
its ends.
