It may be possible to write an engraver that would get tie events,  
hide ties and create slurs instead.  But I see little motivation to do  
something that won't improve music typesetting.

You may want to replace ties with macros that can expand to a slur or  
to a tie.

%% Insane publisher
%tieStart = (
%tieEnd = )

% Sane publisher
tieStart = ~
tieEnd = {}

{ c'' \tieStart c'' \tieEnd }
