I see now, but one would think that might cause more difficult
programming necessitating the keeping tracking of various R values
through out the piece as defined by a time signature as opposed to us
setting the value, which probably would also slow down lilypond having
to parse and hang on to that extra undeclared information. Of course
maybe i am wrong on that. But I do believe making sure the user is
forced to think out the value of R duration is probably more useful
than any minimal convenience, especially as Joram points out that
would make r and R functionality divergent.
