I especially like how they show Dorico's approach which is to add LV 
directly as an item whereas Sibelius requires two actions: create a tie 
and then convert the tie to LV.  Mind you, since an LV looks similar to 
a tie, I can easily see the technical justification for their design; 
but semantically, LV does not mean the same thing as a tie.  So what do 
you do when you need an LV when there is no subsequent note to which to 
tie?  Do you have to create an invisible note, add a tie, and then 
convert to LV?  Or does Sibelius already allow you to have dangling 
ties, and this feature is just shortening the visual extent?
