LilyPond doesn't know about notes or rests shorter than 1/128. This is
an arbitrary limitation into which I've also run occasionally.

That’s not true. LilyPond doesn’t have any _glyphs_ to represent notes or rests shorter than 1/128, but beamed notes work, and I don’t see why silent rests shouldn’t work as well. See <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_hundred_fifty-sixth_note#Even_shorter_notes> and

Best, Simon
