Whether you want them or not, whether you agree with Ted Ross or not, an engraving program should have them. Ted Ross (among a bare handful of others) defines some industry best-practices. You don't have to take his suggestions, of course, and many people choose to do some things differently. But a large number of very qualified people take a large number of his suggestions, so it is not wise to dismiss him out-of-hand.
Well said. I hope no one thought I was dismissing Ted Ross out of hand. I only meant to suggest that most of us here on this forum can have sufficient confidence in our own judgment that we might disagree with him on certain points. I certainly didn't mean to suggest he should be ignored.
By the way, on the original question, I join with the minority. I'm not at all bothered by seeing a slur end at the first note in a tie. To me, it feels normal, perfectly understandable, and in some cases more aesthetically pleasing. No doubt this has something to do with the fact that I spend a lot of time with 19th century music. As with many of these questions, it's a matter of what one is accustomed to.
