Re: Issue 1067 in lilypond: Postfix syntax for repeats

Why does this surprise you? If you think of R1*20 as a repetition -- as you 
claim to -- then this should be exactly according to your expectations: the 
whole-note MMR is repeated 20 times, and the following note (d) "inherits" the 
duration (whole note) from the previous object (the MMR).

That being said, it does bring the internal workings into question…

Cheers,
Kieren.
