In Renaissance Polphonic Music, syncopations in individual voices are
often written without ties, even across barlines for legibility. One
of the major advantages of lilypond (opposed to the commercial
programs, I know) is the ability to transcribe that in a very natural
way.

See the first dotted half notes of the alto or tenor voices (bar 1/2
and bar 4/5) in the ancient notation example (3.5.1) of the
documentation for an example (BTW: The spacing of the second half of
bar 1 is very bad: The g appears to be on the same beat as the d in
the Soprano although it actually is one beat ahead.)
