Hi, Reading the scheme code and the documentation, I'm struggling with the concept of a moment in Lilypond. The documentation says it's a rational number that represents a moment in musical time. Therefore there should be a way to add a duration to a moment to get another moment. But there doesn't seem to be. Likewise, there *are* functions for adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing moments. Which makes no sense if a moment is a point in time.
So what *is* a moment? What do the numerator and denominator represent? Beats? Bar numbers? Milliseconds from the start of the piece? Inquiring minds want to know. -- Dr Peter Chubb http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au peterc AT gelato.unsw.edu.au http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au ERTOS within National ICT Australia A university is a non-profit organisation only in the sense that it spends everything it gets ...
