Currently, both
\time 4/4
and
\time #'(4 . 4)
are accepted, and return the same thing. So no parser-fiddling is required (I
believe?), as long as you change \time so that it accepts a pair:
time =
#(define-music-function (beat-structure fraction)
((number-list? '()) pair?)
At that point, the only issue is to turn
\time #'(4 . "4.")
into an number num and a *duration* (not number) denom… which again doesn’t
required parser-fiddling, correct?

All right!
Thanks,
