I don't understand what use that information has, as any variant is unique, and, therefore, used in the score in every situation where that variant is needed. I resisted click assignment, and multiple assignment of one syllable at the beginning, too, but it's so incredibly easy to deal with that I can't even remember why I ever thought it wasn't the best way to get the job done.
