I regularly sing music from the Renaissance  and prior periods re-typeset 
into modern musical style, and in all the books and scores we sing from, 
notes that bridge modern bars are _always_ split with ties.  I have never 
some across anyone who regularly sings this kind of music who does not 
understand this style of typesetting.

So the use of the completion engravers is very handy with this.  See an 
example at
