Description

Issue type

Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)

Description with steps to reproduce

I have found a bug. I have discussed this in the Facebook group where I was recommended to report this.

I have attached a screenshot showing two examples. The one to the left is the error, the one to the right is how it should look.

I want a grace note before a main note. Those have the same pitch. I want do write like that to show that the trill should start on that pitch and not on the note above. If I want to start the trill on the note above, I write the grace note one step up, and use a slur instead. But this example is about a tie.

Everything looks correct if I enter the notes in normal order, which is:
I add the main note.
I add the grace note before.
I add the tie from that grace note to the main note.
I add the two grace notes after.

But the tie looks wrong if I add the grace notes in reversed order, like this:

I add the main note.
I add the two grace notes after.
I add the grace note before.
I add the tie from the grace note before to the main note. Now the tie looks wrong.
