I hadn't kept the original post, so I wasn't sure. I just remembered something about a transcription being edited, and didn't recall what the style was -- and after reading a few posts, that little mental bell rang that said "transcription" and I thought "maybe early music transcription." Definitely jazz transcriptions want to know the beat and the syncopation, so I heartily endorse the rule for that work -- though not necessarily for jazz/Latin transcriptions where syncopation of an underlying, repetitive rhythm can be more simply notated without ties.
