Comment #15 on issue 2522 by [email protected]: duration*0 considered harmful http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2522
Anecdotal evidence regarding the potential of the "considered harmful" issue:
<http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.general/72701> Quote: That was it. After working on the score full-time for three days I couldn't see that {s1*3 s\p} is very different from {s1*3 s1\p} despite checking and correcting the dynamics block several times. After working in my garden for a few hours I spotted my error almost immediately. Not every LilyPond user has a garden readily available. Or a few hours.
