Hi Carl!
There is a GNU library for arbitrary precision rationals. It may be possible to replace the LilyPond Rational type with an arbitrary precision rational type. Then the ability to go to big nested tuplets would be limited by the amount memory (perhaps the amount on the heap or the stack).
MetaPost had a problem with precision requirements. Nowadays you might choose between four different number systems. Appendix A of the metapost manual gives more informtion about that and the libraries used ... cu, Knut _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
