Not "introduces" but "constitutes" since there was never a state with valid equal behavior. > Exceptions make things a bit "more difficult" and in my opinion should > be introduced carefully thinking if they worth it.

One region where isolated durations are really useful is for drum tracks consisting of only one drum "pitch" for longer stretches. Those tend to be written with notes and rests interspersed. In that case it may be helpful not to have to repeat the drum name. It also might be worth noting that s8 8 8 cannot really be made equal in behavior to \skip 8 8 8 (or other music function calls) so it is more the question of where to draw the line rather than whether to draw a line at all. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
