Beethoven wasn't certainly the first composer to use 1/128. It even occurs
occasionally in Bachs music, and it is quite possible that they were in use
even before. Older composers, e.g. Frescobaldi, avoided 1/64 by using alla breves
like 3/1. 1/128 is certainly not common, but if a guru finds a way to write
them, let me know. I had already an occasion where I had to cheat because
I could not set it.
And I certainly look forward to download Christian Mondrup's polyglott glossary;
I am sure that it will help also communication in this list.
