Ties should not pass through ledger lines

[Dima-S-Jr]

Your idea

I propose to implement automatic adjustment of the ties in the case when, without such adjustments, the tie by default is forced to pass through the ledger lines.

Alternatively, the ties can be moved further from the notes, while being kept reasonably flat:

Keeping reasonably flat is important, because otherwise, if the curve of the tie is too rounded, the tie will look too much like a slur:

Problem to be solved

According to the recommendation from the engraving conventions, the ties should not pass between the ledger lines, otherwise merging with the ties of the ledger lines may confuse the performer (i.e., the number of ledger lines may visually look larger/smaller).

Pay attention to the following example. In this case, the ledger line completely merges with the tie. Such notation may cause misunderstanding.

Additional context

In my opinion, it is most practical to use a tie break, which can be solved with the help of #17719
