That sounds like an excellent approach as appogiaturas should be played with
their nominal lengths. For instance, see the first bar of the original
notation of Mozart's Alla Turca rondo:

<http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n184220/mozart_allaturca.png> 

It should be interpreted as:

<http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n184220/RondoAllaTurcaMozart.png> 

In theory the length of all appoggiaturas before a note shouldn't exceed
that note's length, but of course this should be taken care in an algorithm,
and I think the scaling down by 2 loop sounds very clever.

Cheers!
Gilberto
