It was expected to me. Maybe I'm influenced by knowing the underlying code, 
though. However, I think both could be considered valid (and I don't see what's 
inconsistent about the chosen option). Are you asking this because you need the 
other behavior, or out of curiosity of surprise? In traditional notation, you 
would just put a rest instead of the skip.
