As I suggested, if we forbid such standalone durations after anything
else than an explicit duration, it would not break anything wrt
whitespaces. -- But I agree that this is not quite "sane".

Well, the advantage of a non-letter char is that it's less easy to
confuse it with a note... That being said, we already have  `r',
meaning "rest" and `s' meaning "skip"... But what does `q' mean? :-)
