Hi Adam,

Excellent. I think what clued me in was the error message about going
*backwards* in time ...

And, yes: I think Han-Wen and the gurus really *really* got it right on the
time-keeping: AFAICS, it's all rationals all the time and so completely
exact.

The formal + intuitive way of working is definitely a great way to go. Maybe
a quick script in python just to check things like well-formedness of time
signatures and stuff could be a nice addition to your arsenal in future?

Good luck with the piece! Looks amazing from the small bits I've seen ...


:-)
