The use case is this

%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.21.0"
{ R1*3/4 s4^\markup "some markup" |}
%%%%%%%%%%%

Of course I could achieve that by
%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.21.0"
{ << { \oneVoice R1 } \\ { s2. s4^\markup "some markup" |} >> }
%%%%%%%%%%%
but that seems ugly and at least to me unnecessarily complicated.

Kind regards,
Michael
