Hi Timothy,

design decisions here
Thanks for that. That is definitely not a use-case I had anticipated
though it's nice to see that I'm not alone in wondering about the
default behavior. And apparently my solution involving an alternate
syntax (adding a ~ (tilde) to a rest to make LilyPond repeat the rest)
is probably not worth the effort to implement or maintain.
