I like Mats's gloss of "n/m" and it might help even further to add the
qualifier "of a whole note", so: "As the example illustrates,
@code{ly:make-moment n m} constructs a duration equal to n/m of a
whole note. For example, @code{ly:make-moment 1 8} constructs a
duration equal to one eighth-note (or 1/8 of a whole note) and
@code{ly:make-moment 7 16} constructs a duration equal to seven
sixteenth-notes (or 7/16 of a whole note)."

Hmm... ok. I don't really think this explanation needs anything added, but adding the "whole note" bit lets us finish a sentence before the "For example" bit. Committed.

BTW, please remember to remove lilypond-cvs from the Cc when replying to CVS messages.
