Well, the current arrangement does not "muck up" blank notation at all, as
it's simply a matter of changing one variable in your default file (or Staff
Style library), once, and that's it.  But yes, I agree that the current
kludge to display chord symbols without corresponding entries is a pain and
would like to be able to attach chord symbols to *beats* as well as entries.
(Perhaps as a toggle?  Both are needed, so you'd want to be able to easily
switch back and forth between "Attach to entries" mode and "Attach to beats"
mode.  If that ever happens, I won't object to having blank notation set up
to hide items attached to notes by default -- but honestly, I suspect lots
of others will.  I do think a principled argument can be made for the
current default behavior, *and* the fact that it has always worked this way
is not inconsequential.
