Thank you and thanks to David.
When I looked at the list of predicates...;

https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/predefined-type-predicates.it.html

... I have been misled by the term "rational". In fact, in the italian
language the term "rational" (---> razionale)  means an irreducible
fraction of two coprime integers, while in the english language it means a
number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two
integers.
For example, "2/4" is not rational in italian, but it is rational in
english. Then I did not even consider that predicate.
I suggest the italian maintainer of the translation to keep note of this
ambiguity.

Best,
P
