It is unclear written. Is there anyone here that have a clear understanding about the last two parameters, named cc and bb in the document ? And page 4 describes "ticks per quarter-note" where the "quater note" isn't nessesarily a quarter note. The text says something like cc number of ticks in metronome click bb number of 32nd notes to the quarter note So if I have a 6/8 key signature, the beat is two per measure (on 4. in lilypond notation), but the text confuses the reader with expressions like "quarter note", "MIDI quarter note" and "metronome click". Where obviously the "quarter note" isn't a normal quater note.
