Is this tie's position correct?

I have ties set to “in between”, but this doesn’t look right to me. The left end of the tie is too far to the right. Is there a setting somewhere to change this. I looked and couldn’t find anything.

TIA

It’s even worse with a dotted note:

With ties set to “in between”, is that better for you?

Thanks to both people who answered. I did a some experimenting with different tie options and tie scenarios and have things much better now.

What I’ve discovered however is that how Dorico measures distances, the measuring points I guess, results in the left end of the tie looking a little bit further away from the notehead to its left than the right end of the tie looks in relation to the note on its right.

Could this be font specific?

It might be worth using the Library Manager to compare the default settings with what you’ve set; and compare the effect of engaging the factory defaults versus your own.

Thanks, I’m looking into it.
