I thought the behaviour was intended to simplify things like
<c e g>4 q q q
I'm particularly asking about making every note into a chord
because that would make David's favorite <> construct a *lot* more
consistent. At the moment, we have
no note at a time unit: <>
single note at a time unit: c'4
multiple notes at a time unit: <c e g>4
If c'4 was actually a shortcut for <c'>4, then we could have a
consistent notion that every time unit in every voice is a chord;
that chord may contain 0, 1, or many notes.
