Ties at the beginning of systems

OK. Amadeus (and possibly SCORE) do not have the flat option shown in the image. Amadeus just cut it, even if curved but the tangent to the slur at the cut point was always horizontal. Perhaps both options should be supported, if implemented in a future version.

Would this be considered a chord in the first and second staff of this system? The ties are really short on the Bb in the first staff, and G on the second staff at the beginning of the system. If they were dashed I don’t think you could tell unless there was a horizontal edit made.
