> > > I can't see any obvious meaning to 60.75. Then isn't the next hypothesis that there is a non-obvious meaning? I think it is overwhelmingly likely that the composer was entirely aware that the two-decimal point precision is impossible to follow or maintain. It seems ludicrous to think otherwise. You seem locked into the assumptions that the marking MUST be intended concretely. There are lots of other possibilities - indeed even subtle and artistic ones. Maybe it's a puzzle; maybe it's a parody; maybe it's a satire on overprecision; maybe it's purpose is to reveal musicians who have a bullheaded insistence on literalism.
It is as if someone were looking at this: http://www.comviz.com.ulaval.ca/module1/Images/MagrittePipe.jpg and saying "Of course it's a pipe! You can't fool me!"
