If LilyPond finds that its first attempt of parsing a longer end up with post-events (those normally attached to a note or rest) in isolation, it makes a second attempt of attaching them to what happens to precede them. Sometimes (like in the \displayMusic example I gave) this comes too late to result in the "expected" reading. The differences end up more subtle, and while we had a number of complaints while this second pass has not been implemented, I don't remember anybody writing up an error report about the more subtle semantics when LilyPond now tries to clean up its parsing after the fact. -- David Kastrup
