While this might be a mess for the parser to sort out it is perfectly
understandable for a musician trying to write his/her music.
In this discussion we must always consider what it is we are
trying to optimise: something easy for a parser or easy for a
musician? I'm not saying this must be left unchanged, but if it
is replaced the replacement must be as acceptable to a musician,
otherwise we're going backwards.
