tie between notes which are enharmonically identical

Please do something about this issue. This is really annoying. I think that  
most people who would use this feature don't really care about the midi  
output. Using slurs is definitely not a solution.

You could create a condition in the background, so when an enharmonic tie  
would appear, then in the midi it would remain the original pitch.

the user would type: cis1~ | des
the midi would play: cis1~ | cis

Or just make an exception for keyboard instruments for such cases. I  
suppose that for keyboard instruments the midi plays the same for both  
cases:

case 1: cis4 dis fis gis
case 2: des4 es ges as

If yes, then there is no issue with the above mentioned; if no, then you  
have to fix that, because it does not reflect the real output. You could  
ask: who cares? Exactly. And who cares if the midi plays the original pitch  
instead of the enharmonic pitch? Most people won't observe it.

Maybe some people don't want to see such a feature by default, that is ok  
by me, but why don't you give an \override option for the others? Or  
implement a new mark for enharmonic ties?
