My battle with conversion doesn't end with the legacy property.
\set Timing.beatBase = 1/4
comes through the parser as the pair `(1 . 4)` rather than the rational
number `1/4`.
I don't want to store this property as a pair and require all readers to
convert it to a number.
I don't want to apologize for requiring `#1/4` instead, though we seem
to be in that situation already with
* completionFactor
* \accidental
* \harmonicByRatio
* \magnifyStaff
* \text-accidental
Is that good enough? Are there other options?
