convertly changed "tempoWholesPerMinute" to
"tempoWholesPerMinuteAsMoment"
I have three questions:
1 Do I need to "make a moment" from 4 numbers just to pass it "AsMoment"?
Could I also pass something simpler like 65/2?
2 Is that the way to set midi tempo or could I just use \tempo here?
Is there a particular reason you are asking the mailing list instead of
just trying it out?
3 Why is this property not mentioned here?
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/internals/score How could I find
out?
Because this is not intended for anything but backward compatibility?
Why _would_ you want to find out how to use anything but the interfaces
intended to actually stay around?
It seems the OP is not aware that the renaming of tempoWholesPerMinute
to tempoWholesPerMinuteAsMoment was done with the purpose of "freeing"
the name tempoWholesPerMinute so we can re-create it using rational
numbers. So, a pointer to
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/changes/miscellaneous-improvements
seems in order.
In short: tempoWholesPerMinute is now a rational number, so you can just
set it to 65/2 without having to deal with moments anymore. The
"...AsMoment" stuff is a temporary fallback so convert-ly does not have
to do the (in general hard) job of finding an equivalent rational number
for any moment expression the user might have entered in any number of ways.
