No. Time for <> is registered by putting the same duration on every
element inside of the EventChord.
There is a drawback, though. q is changed. Now q is implemented as <>
but with the current duration on it. Which would mean that the total
moment of
{ c4 <> q }
would likely change when q gets expanded. While <c> _is_ considered for
q for consistency's sake, perhaps <> should be made to leave it alone.
