Ubuntu Studio 14.04, GIT commit: 0f756f2

Consider:

The two inner ties are crowded. That's because the code for avoiding staff lines has pushed the tie on the G down. There's probably a better way to handle this, but it might be good enough to just disable that particular adjustment for chords. Will investigate.

I address the crowding issue in https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/1108. The strategy is, if you have a chord with mutliple ties, go ahead and adjust notes even if they are outside the staff. Either method solves the crowding problem, but the way I did it allows chords that are totally inside the staff to still benefit from the staff line avoidance.

For the tabs staff issue I mentioned (as a note to myself), see #29236: Tie direction for chords on tab staves non-deterministic?.
