Well, the larger the deviation from standard engraving practice, the
more irritating it is to the casual reader (read: musicians who are
constantly lacking enough rehearsals).  There must be *very* good
reasons to not follow the engraving tradition, and maybe your piece
really justifies such a change, I don't know.
