You are probably right, TGTools does something a little different.
However, I think there are sometimes reasons to use this notation, mostly to save space, and allow better page turns. That can be very valuable.

I don't think what's being described will be covered by TG Tools - it's tremolo notation. I'm sure it's fairly simple as a manual workaround, although this isn't a good option for a whole song (or songs).
My two cents, however, are that this notation is hideous and unnecessary. It's the kind of thing that was preferable to an engraver when they were actually engraving, and every notehead fewer was a bit less to their workload. It's not necessary on computer notation. Therefore the only reason to use it is if it provides greater clarity than a fully-notated version, or than an alternative abbreviation. And I don't see that it does either of these.

A couple of days ago, my daughter asked me to transpose a Schubert lied she is preparing for her senior recital. After determining it wouldn't scan into my Macfin 04, I simply input it into a new file via the various methods at hand. Now the gist of my question:
The accompaniment's first measure contained a measure of 4 16th note groups in Common time. All the measures thereafter used the shortcut of 2 halfnote noteheads occurring twice, of course, beamed with 16th (or 32nd, I can't remember) beams. I was short on time for research, so I just plugged in all the 16th notes in the song rather than mess with the shortcut method. How does one come up with the shortcut notation in such a case?
