Actually, I like this. This would also help in situations like
tacet al <rehearsal number 54>

Why would R*2 be so desperately painful that it would be worth
breaking compatibility?
I'm not saying I don't like the idea of R without a duration. I *am*
saying that changing the meaning of the number immediately following R
is a bad idea.
One character solves that problem.
That breaks backward compatibility.
convert-ly is your friend.
Again... is it worth going this road over **one asterisk**? Really.
hjh
I have the impression that Werner doesn't fight for the syntax *without
asterisk* but that he is just in favor of a new option *without explicit
duration*. I assume he would also feel "R*2" is an improvement.
