The Notation Manual seems to allow a naked duration to represent the last pitch
with that duration. The following extract from the NM shows what I'm talking
about:
(you'd think that since we're only on p6, it would be easy to find the explicit
permission to do this, but I can't find it. Maybe it's somewhere later in the
NM. You'd probably also think that since the difference between absolute and
relative pitch entry has already been discussed this snippet should read:
cis''1~ 1~ \break cis''.)
Another illustration of this use of naked duration occurs on NM p371:
which produces:
If examples such as this are modified by the \articulate command, the midi file
is non-representative of the LP input. For example,
\version "2.19.15"
\include "articulate.ly"
\score { {
\unfoldRepeats \articulate
\new Staff {cis''1~ 1~ \break cis''}
}
\midi { }
}
produces a midi file which consists of 4 beats of cis'' folowed by 4 beats of
rest or silence followed by 4 beats of cis''.
