See <URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3476>.
I tried a few things like (make-music 'Event) with fishy errors.  So I
put that kludge in to make sure that the problems were not coming from
there and later forgot it.

Maybe PostEvents works here.  No idea.

That's because no translator listens to it.  It is interpreted by
lily/event-chord-iterator.cc which just interprets all its elements,
typically broadcasting _them_.

No idea.
