I'm a bit at a loss here: \displayLilyMusic demonstrates that no pitches
have been filled in (like it would with q chord repeats) but that's not
much of an example. And for anything occuring in a score, the pitches
will be there. One could do something like
\relative { c'4 c' c' }
as opposed to
\relative { c'4 4 4 }
as this makes clear that at least at the time \relative is executed the
pitches are not yet available for getting mangled.
