Performance wise, a quilisma is interpreted as extending the note which
precedes it (either dotting it or doubling it, depending on preference). The
note represented by the quilisma itself is of a normal duration. Is there a
way for the quilisma function to be modified to do this so that the midi comes
out with the correct durations?
I'm unsure if this function behaves exactly as you would like, but it
shouldn't be too much work to adjust to your preference. The
make-relative macro ensures the returned pitches are correct if you
enter your music in relative mode.
new_quilisma = #(define-music-function (notea noteb) (ly:music? ly:music?)
(make-relative (notea noteb)
