The same problem was discussed some year ago on this mailing list
(or maybe on bug-lilypond), see the archives.

I did some playing last night and was surprised that you can have any

that I really understand what 5/9 time would really mean, but
obviously LP interprets it.
Since it seems to be a lot of code that causes this, perhaps you have
to experiment with whittling down the code to isolate the offending
commands. I'd be interested in seeing some of the code that uses
these odd times. Maybe there is a math error, and another set of eyes
and fingers on a calculator can see it.

Is 11748 a legit denominator for a time signature?
2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192,
16384...I am a pretty basic writer, so I've never gone beyond time
sigs like 13/16.
Have to admit the error message text is cute.
