Hi,

It's infeasible to add a real minimum-length, because the vertical 
configuration depends on the horizontal spacing chosen, but I can add 
scoring options to add variations for small ties. 60 EUR.

I agree that this doesn't look good, but it's also a corner case. I 
suggest a manual override.

I can make also single ties use the chord collision code. Presumably, 
this might force lily to use a different tie configuration in this case. 
60 EUR.
