I'm curious whether the rule is always true, or whether there might be exceptions if e.g. a keyboard piece has the outer two notes of an initially-suspended chord sustained for multiple bars, while the inner voice changes on beat 4 of one of the earlier bars. Would one draw the ties through the stem of the changing note, or put a small gap in the tie for the step, or draw an ending-half-tie at the start of the continuation of the outer note that would have collided, or what?
