Hello,
I currently try out the consequences of issue 3648
<http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3648>, namely the
possibility to use isolated durations as frequently as has been normal
for isolated pitches. It certainly means a change to the habits of
entering music in LilyPond language, but I can imagine that it
considerably simplifies typing in the long run. This way, the following
music (verbose version)
\version "2.19"
\relative { d4 c4 c2 }
becomes
\relative { d4 c 2 }
– which, unfortunately and of course, doesn’t work, since it results in
only two notes being output, d4 and c2.
However, it would be great for consistency and automatisation of writing
music if it could work. Which would mean to forbid any spaces or line
breaks between pitch and duration, if they belong to the same note, and
interpret them as two notes if there is any space or line break inbetween.
I don’t see any problem in that with normal input, whereas in other
cases like music functions the space might be necessary.
What do you think?
Best, Simon
