Yes, and even simpler:
Durations can be written in music expressions without an
immediately preceding pitch or chord --- the missing
pitches will be taken from the last preceding note or chord.
Ah, but they won't. It's only during scorification that the missing
pitches get filled in. Now of course there is little point in trying to
pick a wording that is technically more accurate without the reader
having a chance to guess that until he figures it out on his own.
Feels a little bit like how "congressional oversight" (well, the
equivocating rather than the blunt perjury). Any idea how to write this
appropriate for this level without omitting the information that the
note events will stay pitchless until scorification time?
