So what do you expect to see here as the markup? "♩ = 60.0" ? And for \tempo 4 = #190/7 what do you expect to see here? "♩ = 12.9"? "♩ = 12.86"? "♩ = 190/7"? What for \tempo 4 = #(/ 190.0 7) ? I know how to format an integer. But I have no way to guess what a composer will want to see for some rational or floating-point number. If LilyPond "should surely provide", the question is _what_ should it provide? I don't see that there is a ready answer for that. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
