If that's the way it's going to be, I'll document it, but... why this? Do we want to allow users to have different tempo in different Staff contexts?
Apart from looking complicated, I find it directly confusing. If you told me that the property name was "tempoWholesPerMinute", I would intuitively expect the value to be a real number. Here it seems that we (mis)use ly:make-moment to represent a rational number. Of course, that's convenient as long as the beat isn't a dotted note, since you can just set x as the
duration of the beat, but it still requires quite some amount of thinking the first time you see it. /Mats _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
