Ray, that's a good question.

Here's one example. You will often see melody notes alone, sometimes in unison octaves meant to be played by the ensemble, but with no chord. NC would work well there, whereas a rest would not.

Of course, in BIAB, we do not yet have a good way to indicate either one of these, a complete rest or a NC, without it looking odd in the printed notation. Hence the wishlist item.
