I'm a bit at a loss here: \displayLilyMusic demonstrates that no pitches
have been filled in (like it would with q chord repeats) but that's not
much of an example.  And for anything occuring in a score, the pitches
will be there.  One could do something like

\relative { c'4 c' c' }

as opposed to

\relative { c'4 4 4 }

as this makes clear that at least at the time \relative is executed the
pitches are not yet available for getting mangled.
