Check out the email I sent just a few minutes before yours, it goes
into greater detail about why I want this particular behavior. The
short of it is that it allows me to treat something like "4~ 16" as a
single duration object (like "4", "4.", "4..", "4...", etc) making it
easy to look it up in a table and result in Lilypond correctly
printing out pitches or rests. So "c4~ 16" would print a C quarter
note tied to a 16th note and a "r4~ 16" would print a quarter note
rest followed by a 16th note rest.
Hope these two emails make it clearer why I want to do this.
Dave
