To be honest, I didn't really look at the documentation-- I saw a file 
on Mutopia
(Chopin's Prelude No. 15) which had a "fake" half note, and looked at 
the source
for that file.  (I couldn't just steal that code because I wanted the 
half note near
the end of the measure.)

Anyway, the best thing I can think of is to insert a reference to this 
trick in the
"Tips and Tricks" section of the docs.  That's where I'd be most likely 
to look if
I didn't already have an example.
