Consider the three different versions here:
\version "2.12.3"
\include "english.ly"
\score {
\new Staff {
\clef treble \key c \minor \time 2/4
\relative c' { <g d' b' \tweak #'duration-log #1 g'>4^\fermata s4} } }
\score {
\new Staff {
\clef treble \key c \minor \time 2/4
\relative c' { <\tweak #'duration-log #2 g \tweak #'duration-log #2 d'
\tweak #'duration-log #2 b' g'>2^\fermata} } }
\score {
\new Staff {
\clef treble \key c \minor \time 2/4
\relative c' { <g d' b' \tweak #'duration-log #1 g'>4*2^\fermata} } }
In the first version, the chord has the duration of a quarter note, with the
top note head tweaked to look like a half-note (but still with the duration of
a quarter note) -- that's why you need the quarter note skip to "complete the
measure".
In the second version, the chord has the duration of a half note, with the
bottom three note heads tweaked to look like quarter notes (but still with the
duration of half notes) -- that's why you DON'T need a skip to "complete the
measure".
In the third version, the chord has the duration of a "double-length quarter
note" (= half-note, but with quarter note heads), with the top note head
tweaked to look like a half-note (but still with the duration of a
"double-length quarter note") -- that's why you DON'T need a skip to "complete
the measure".
Does that make sense?
Best,
Kieren.
p.s. The third version is, perhaps, my favourite -- though it's potentially the
most confusing.
