They aren't. They are exact fractions. > I wonder if there is a reason for Lilypond to restrict the tempo to > integers.

Inexact numbers would make LilyPond's Midi output unpredictable (unsuitable for binary comparison). I am not sure this would be a problem: we have the same situation with the extensive floating point calculations involved in the printed output. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
