Well, I don't know what a program should or should not do, but the readability and convenience of this exact notation was considerable part of the incentive of choosing to do it in this manner: a tied note does not want a repeated attack when playing, and not needing to write the pitch again meshes nicely with that. But I think putting ties on rests in the note entry is an awful idea, so this motivation to extend the notation to rests appears to be too much of stretch to me to be desirable. -- David Kastrup
