Re: erroneous subheading

Hi Jean-Charles

I used "simulating" because this way of doing it is really rather a hack.
A bit like replacing a staccato note with a half-length note followed by
a half-length rest.  Both methods render the required music more or
less correctly in MIDI.

Doing it "for real" would be for LilyPond to interpret the fermata and the
staccato *as notated* and render them correctly in MIDI without having
to mess around like this.  *That* would be "performing a fermata",
but current versions of Lily can't do this :(
