Fixes and normalizes the shortcuts section. This is intended primarily as a clarification, not as introducing any new rules.

The rhythmic repeat was moved as a sub-section to the Duration section. Since this can apply in several places, it made more sense to define it as a variation of duration encoding, rather than its own standalone shortcut. It also introduces no new characters for encoding, and instead offers an alternative to how the durations can be applied. It also simplifies references to this, as any logical unit that refers to a duration can also be assumed to allow rhythmic sequences as well.

Also clarifies #132

Since this can also apply to other shortcuts as well, better to put it at the top of the section.
Since many notation figures use and refer to the duration section, rhythmic sequences should be considered a sub-definition of duration, rather than an independent encoding. It also does not introduce any new encoding characters, but instead offers an alternative to how the durations can be applied.

OK, I have expanded and clarified the duration pattern prose, and fixed up other terminology in the spec that may have been inconsistent.

How about this paragraph, to replace the current one:

When applied to tuplets, duration patterns affect the written duration of the notes, and not the musical duration of the tuplet. See the section on tuplets for more information.

Also remove the restriction on ending at a staff definition change.
