Of course it's valid! It's your typical dotted 8th note, though I mostly write it as A3/, e.g.: L:1/8 A3/B//c// d2 Fractions could get complicated anyway, depending on how you set the L: field. Why not L:1/1 ? It's legal. Or why not L:11/17 ? It's legal and the only thing you have to beware of is that you set the length correctly for each note. Maybe we should have an "obfuscated abc" competition... Of course L:11/17 is ridiculous, but someone could for example decide to use L:3/8 which could maybe make sense in some tunes.
