But they showed up when writing <c'4\4>, so this was more a convenient
bug than anything else.

And what would you do when _wanting_ a chord with more than a single
note but no string numbers?

Not that bad:

n=#(define-event-function (parser location e) (ly:event?)
                          #{ \tweak #'stencil ##f $e #})

{ c'\4 c'\n\4 }
