I definitely agree that \times x/y is the least messy option.
I use Lilypond since 1.4.12 (yes, that's a long time ago and, yes, I
suffered with the syntax change of brackets and slurs, among many other
- but it has been worthwhile) Since I started to learn Lilypond, I
thought \times one of the most clear and elegant parts of Lilypond,
concerning the x/y.
The very few times I confused it with \time - usually a typing error -
it was always one of those easy to find and fix problems.
I hope that this (\times x/y) does not change, but if it does, well, I
will live with it also....
Thanks to all for Lilypond and for the user- and devel- lists
Best regards,
Luise
