chord partially tied to another chord

[Jeffrey Trevino]

Hi there,

I'm curious about the behavior of chords that tie partially to other chords.

Why does the tie go from the C to nothing here, when it should go from e to e?:

\version "2.17.0"
\language "english"

\new Staff{
<c' e' ~ g' ~>4
<e' g'>4

}

Things display correctly when the lower note doesn't need a ledger line:
\version "2.17.0"
\language "english"

\new Staff{
<d' e' g'>4 ~
<e' g'>4

}

cheers,
Jeff
