That's why I initially suggested using ':' instead of '*'.
Another possibility (but I suspect it would require to fiddle with the
parser a lot more) would be to only allow this shorcut as a prefix:
4 * { music expression }
As I said earlier, I'd personally expect '{ expr } * 4' to multiply
durations by 4, like in LSR snippet #305. Which would be entirely
consistent with what '*' already does -- but not nearly as useful as
what Neil's patch does.
Cheers,
Valentin
