\tieNeutral should be standard in polyphony

[Stephen]

When using '{  } \\ {  }' for polyphony, doing things like making the top 
polyphonic line \stemUp by default and the bottom line \stemDown makes 
sense. But ties don't follow stem direction and making the top line \tieUp 
and the bottom line \tieDown doesn't make sense, along with some other 
defaults that don't make sense for polyphony.

In the attached file, the '\tieNeutral' should not be necessary in order to 
allow the ties in the following chord to be complementary; it should be the 
default.

As usual, I am taking my example directly from the piece I was working on 
when I first noticed the problem. That way I am placing the problem in a 
realistic context
rather rather than a simplified one.
