Hi there, I cannot figure out how to encode a 16th note rhythm. When
counting by mouth I would say: "1and 2and 3and 4and" when all notes
are taking part. In lilypond I would write: "g16 g g g g16 g g g g16 g
g g g16 g g g". But how do I: "1ad 2ad 3ad 4ad"? Please notice I leave
out the "n".

It's not clear what you are asking. 16th notes would just be 16th notes and your code would produce 16 16th notes correctly (you'd only need a g16 once at the beginning, although I think it is more sensible for every note to have the duration specified, so I would write 16 "g16" notes.

I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish with "1ad 2ad 3ad 4ad" with or without the "n" in "and." Especially since "1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and" would usually suggest 8th notes rather than 16th notes.
