Seems this came up o the forum recently, and opinion was split pretty evenly. Some people use the split function to allow for things like mid-measure repreats or measures split across systems, in which case you indeed want to excldue the second half of the measure. But others use it as a way of actually creating new measures with different beat counts - particularly for non-metrical music. And in these cases, you *do* want it included. So unless something changes, my inclination is to leave this alone, and just accept that those of us more likely to use it the first way need an extra step.

I'd agree
