The thing is,  you don't want to have chords with partial ties. That is
something from a real world practice: If you are writing a  chord where the
middle voice is moving and other are sustained you are basically asking for
trouble.  Players gonna miss it 8 times out of 10 when sight reading.   The
proper way would be to split notes to different voices.

Please don't do that! Surely there will be some loyal MUS followers who will
get used to that working routine, but the majority of new users will want to
have their most used commands to work globally. 
I know that this is not exactly how your program is designed but for the
practical use, people gonna want it dumb-proof, one-command-works-everywhere
kind of layout.  Ask other people's opinion.... see what they say.
