For an excellent discussion of this issue (and many other problems, such
as automatic calculation of slurs, horizontal spacing of notes etc), see

    Helene Wanske:  Musiknotation
                    Von der Syntax des Notenstichs zum
                    EDV-gesteuerten Notensatz
    Schott, ISBN 3-7957-2886-x

Everyone who is involved in the development of music typesetting
software should have read this book.  (It's in German though, and I
don't suppose any translations are available.)
