Yes and no.  This usage will work just as before when written from
scratch.  But when upgrading, convert-ly will convert it to the form
without explicit pitch if it can.

That's a similar approach like we took for \override: the old syntax
continues to work, but convert-ly tries promoting the "suggested" form.
