Re: Isolated durations in music sequences now stand for unpitched notes (issue 22120043)

Awesome!!

could you push it in a branch, so that I could read the commits in
sequence?

Good point.
However, what about restricting the "pitch inheritance" to the current
context, or the current music expression (code block inside {} )?  I.e.
in

  \new Staff { <c e>4 4 4 4 }

the pitches would be inherited, while in

<<
  \new Staff { <c e>4 }
  \new RhythmicStaff { 4 4 4 4 }


they won't, because LilyPond wouldn't look back further than the
beginning of current context/expression.  Do you think that would be
doable?

best,
