It's a bit difficult to explain without diagrams and waving your arms around. [d6z2]2[B2G2][B2G2] represents one bar of 3/4 time. The d6 is a dotted minim over a crotchet rest. The [B2G2]s are two separate (untied) crotchet length chords. A classic Dum Ching Ching rhythm with the Dum sustained for the whole bar. Your absorptive-tie idea strikes me as a less than intuitive way of representing this. [d6z2][B2G2][B2G2] would work for "shortest note". [z2d6][B2G2][B2G2] would work for "first listed note" and "shortest note". None of them make sense for "first listed note = melody note".
