the sentence "The property measurePosition contains a rational number

"Moment" is generally misused in LilyPond for rationals since the C++
type "Rational" has no Scheme-accessible equivalent and the obvious
equivalent of Scheme rationals was not around at the time "Moment" was
concocted.
thanks for the rationale for the use of /rational /in this context -
it's far beyond my horizon - as a simple user I wish only to know which
numbers I may use with the function ly:make-moment (to define the
property measurePosition ) - without running into problemsof any kind!
and I think one or two examples demonstrating the equivalence of
\partial … and \override Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment -… …)
with non trivial durations (e.g. 3 sixteenths in an upbeat in a 6/8
rhythm) could clarify the use of both.
