Hi Aaron, > It should be possible for the helper to accept a single fraction as well, so > both of these usages could work: > %%%% > \time \note-denom 6/8 ;; slash means simple numeric fraction > \time \note-denom 2 4. ;; no slash means scalar and duration > %%%%
Well, that’s something — thanks! > But is \note-denom doing anything useful for the simple case? Users would > probably just want to say \time 6/8 directly and cut out the middle man. Then how does the TimeSignature know to have a note glyph on the bottom?

If 2/4. is the value entered, do we have access to the num (2) after the conversion to 6/8 has happened? If so, I could “reverse engineer” the 2/4. from (num . denom) = (6 . 8). Thanks!
