Actually, the "tied to nothing" method is what is refered to as "Ravel ties".
For the time being, I don't think any notation software does them in a satisfactory manner. And as far as I know, no notation programme does the correct playback of Ravel Ties without a great deal of dicking around behind the scenes.
The reason it's "all over the Well tempered klavier" is that harpsichords have no sustain pedal.
I see no reason to do anything other than pedal indications in this case, since this is a piano part.
I find the ties more fussy than useful, in this particular case, since you get a lot of notational element collisions.
