This issue is still there in 2.0.3.

Before:

After ticking "Small" in Inspector > Note:
long_ledger_2.png

You can see that the ledger line has elongated at the end.

The problem here is that there might well be multiple notes needing ledger lines, and they might be different sizes. We can't assume that each ledger line goes with one and only one note. So there is no way to really determine a "correct" ledger line in the general case, even if this particular special case appears to have a clear answer. but it's possible we could define a heuristic that would more often hapopen to guess what you want. See also #21131: Ledger lines for mix of small- and full-sized notes on same stem sized incorrectly.
