I did some playing last night and was surprised that you can have any
denominator for a time signature, so my initial idea is wrong...not that I
really understand what 5/9 time would really mean, but obviously LP interprets
it.Since it seems to be a lot of code that causes this, perhaps you have to
experiment with whittling down the code to isolate the offending commands. I'd
be interested in seeing some of the code that uses these odd times. Maybe
there is a math error, and another set of eyes and fingers on a calculator can
see it.

Is 11748 a legit denominator for a time signature? 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128,
256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384...I am a pretty basic writer, so I've
never gone beyond time sigs like 13/16.Have to admit the error message text is
cute.
