I don't know that Urs was contemplating "irrational" in the mathematical sense, but in the more logical sense of being something not governed by an easily understood relationship, such as one measure generating two and the next two generating one, and then maybe four develops to 10 and 9 to 5, or s

Hi Urs. I tried to send a reply earlier. I don't know if I succeeded, but the method I suggested was not good enough anyway. Here's my second attempt at a solution to your problem: \version "16.0" firstVersion =\relative e'' {e2. e4 | g2. cis,4 |} secondVersion =\scaleDurations #'(2 . 1)\relative

Hi Urs. In your example, if you lay the second version out as if the notes had twice the durations they actually have, then it looks nice: \version "16.0" firstVersion =\relative e'' {e2. e4 | g2. cis,4 |} secondVersion =\scaleDurations #'(2 . 1)\relative e'' {e4~ e16[ fis] e[ fis] g4. cis,8 |} \
