Now I'm even more confused. get_current_note_head finds a note head
(from the associatedVoice) that ends strictly after the current moment.
We only check melisma_busy if get_current_note_head finds something.
Therefore, we will only check melisma_busy if we are in the middle of a
note. Am I missing something?

To answer your original question, btw, I have a slight preference for
leaving melisma_busy as-is and modifying the call site.
