Because this is debugging an attempt to write a cadenza in a score.  I 
only discovered skip-of-length and mmrest-of-length when trying to align 
parts to a cadenza and now I believe I need to use them for this 
purpose.  This is a minimal example of something which doesn't seem to 
work as documented.  Five eighth notes is a small subset of the actual 
cadenza.

Thanks for replying,
