If you don’t give an explicit duration to a note, its duration is
going to be the last duration previously encountered _in the input
file_. This is done by the parser without any consideration about
what’s eventually going to be used or how. The ‘default’ of a
quarter note is therefore only effective for the very first note
in a file.
It’s a bad idea to rely on that, anyway. You should really start
each variable and likely even each line with an explicit pitch
_and_ explicit duration. (In my own use I’m not so strict about
_every_ line, but the first line in each variable is a must.)
Best, Simon
Right. I gave several examples but. But it's an uncalled variable.
Why should it output anything or impact anything that's called? Is
it only durations that can leak out of uncalled variables? What else
can impact outside an uncalled variable data?
