If you don’t give an explicit duration to a note, its duration is
going to be the last duration previously encountered _in the input
file_. This is done by the parser without any consideration about
what’s eventually going to be used or how. The ‘default’ of a quarter
note is therefore only effective for the very first note in a file.
It’s a bad idea to rely on that, anyway. You should really start each
variable and likely even each line with an explicit pitch _and_
explicit duration. (In my own use I’m not so strict about _every_
line, but the first line in each variable is a must.)
Best, Simon
Right. I gave several examples but. But it's an uncalled variable. Why
should it output anything or impact anything that's called? Is it only
durations that can leak out of uncalled variables? What else can impact
outside an uncalled variable data?
