It will not necessarily be trivial to decide (and for the user to figure
out) just what responsibilities get moved and what not in order to have
reasonably consistent behavior as well as good usefulness (when compared
with wholly separate voices).
It is also not necessarily the best solution for every case: while one
could use it as a stop-gap measure for glissandi, multi-note glissandi
should be available without reverting to such trickery. And without the
need to let the code grow much more complex...
In a similar vein, it might be expedient to use as a stop-gap measure
for other incomplete features, while ultimately other solutions might
make for a cleaner and more logical music source.
