Hi,
Reading the scheme code and the documentation, I'm struggling
with the concept of a moment in Lilypond. The documentation says it's
a rational number that represents a moment in musical time.
Therefore there should be a way to add a duration to a moment to get
another moment. But there doesn't seem to be. Likewise, there *are*
functions for adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing moments.
Which makes no sense if a moment is a point in time.
So what *is* a moment? What do the numerator and denominator
represent? Beats? Bar numbers? Milliseconds from the start of the
piece? Inquiring minds want to know.
