But thinking about it, I'm wondering why one would want to notate a
different duration than is actually played,
A reason can be to make room in the bar for something else. For example, I
use it to engrave grace-like notes at the end of a bar. This happens a lot
in the baroque organ music I am typesetting. By playing with the fractions
in this example the position of f sharp-g relative to the left hand part
can be controlled.
\version "2.18.2"
musicRH = \relative c'' { g2*7/8\mordent( \teeny fis16*1/2 g) \normalsize
\grace fis8( e2) }
musicLH = \relative c' { \clef bass e8 b a b g e g a |}
\score = {
<<
\musicRH
\new Staff \musicLH
>>
}
I'm relatively new to Lilypond at this level of detail.
All I can say is that the allowed forms and interpretation of \partial
isn't so clear to me from the existing documentation.
I recognize that sentiment. I am sure the information is all there. But
it's not always clear to someone who isn't already versed in Lilypond.

Auke
