Yes, these time sigtanatures are ridiculous -- but they are needed to
produce the visual I'm after. I'm notating an electronic part; I have
four performers playing at 4 different tempi, and the electronic part
plays groups of four artiuclations, each quantized to a beat in a
different tempo -- hence the strange timesigs on the staff containing
this part.
But I still don't understand Valentin -- you're telling me you can't
tap out rhythms in 2667/25276 time? :)
The MIDI timing seems to be rather poor, too: according to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIDI_timecode
it is at best 1/30 second, but could be just 1/24 (as it uses the
standard film frame rates). Is this right?
Suppose the tempo 1/4 = 120, so the 1/4 note takes 0.5 seconds; then
the 1/2 note takes one second, and the 1/30 second is a 2*30 or about
a 64th note. Perhaps this is why MIDI code sounds so bad :-) - there
isn't enough time resolution for doing subtle time bendings.
