Never mind the noise,
the \shiftDurations built-in function is exactly what I need, and it is

Automatically change durations
shiftDurations can be used to change the note lengths of a piece of music.

Is there a built-in lilypond function that would take a list of notes and a
duration and apply the latter to each member of the former? Say you have a
common triad
triad = { c e g }
and you would like to apply durations, e.g. 4 and 8, to produce patterns
like {c4 e g}, {c8 e g}, etc.
