You can specify the duration for only the first note, and the following ones will use the same one:

{ a8 b c d e f g }

 

While this is true, I think the OP was looking for something else. Here's what I found. In the file ly/declarations-init.ly, the last line says this:

 

setDefaultDurationToQuarter = { c4 }

 

It seems that changing this _expression_'s duration should do what you want, but it didn't matter what duration I put in there, I couldn't get it to change from defaulting to quarter notes. Maybe a developer can enlighten us further.
