The Notation Manual seems to allow a naked duration to represent
the last pitch with that duration. The following extract from the
NM shows what I'm talking about:
(you'd think that since we're only on p6, it would
be easy to find the explicit permission to do this, but I can't
find it. Maybe it's somewhere later in the NM. You'd probably
also think that since the difference between absolute and
relative pitch entry has already been discussed this snippet
should read: cis''1~ 1~ \break cis''.)
Another illustration of this use of naked duration
occurs on NM p371:
which produces:
If examples such as this are modified by the
\articulate command, the midi file is non-representative of the
LP input. For example,
\version "2.19.15"
\include "
articulate.ly"
\score { {
\unfoldRepeats \articulate
\new
Staff {cis''1~ 1~ \break cis''}
}
\midi { }
}
produces a midi file which consists of 4 beats of
cis'' folowed by 4 beats of rest or silence followed by 4 beats
of cis''.
