Yes, now I remember that I've seen this too, for some sequencers or perhaps for Reaper only?!

It would be better not to shorten the note for the graphic, because if
you move it to another pitch, you might want to have legato, but Ardour
should detect such legato of the same pitch and handle it this way.
