"GP Import truncates short notes" and staccato notes

[jstma]

I've got a tux guitar score that has 8th notes where alternating notes are staccato.  With "GP Import truncates short notes" turned on, all the notes are truncated.  With "GP Import truncates short notes" turned off, all the notes have the same length.  In either case, there's no indication that one note is longer than another.

Rocksmith doesn't  convey the notion of staccato notes by design.  But I'm not a fan of this.

I patched EOF to always truncate staccato notes.  This looks better, but isn't accurate either.

It would be better if the duration of a staccato note was just halved, but this looks like a much more difficult change.

It seems like grace and dotted notes have special handling.  Staccato notes could have special handling too.  Is there any particular objection?

Actually, the change to halve staccato notes wasn't that difficult and I believe the change is pretty benign.  I'll submit a pull request.
