I hadn't thought about the problem of varying beat length in my initial
proposal and I should have.
What I would prefer would be to allow:

Microsoft have made a change to the way in which the Search facility
works in Windows XP compared to previous versions of Windows.

therefore would consc

James, it looks as though you missed the beginning of this sub-thread:
The problem was if we define words to mean particular rates e.g. lento=60,
Allegro=120, vigorous skipping=95 etc, it begs the questions "60 what?",
"120 what?" etc.
120 L units seems to often give silly answers, so we are sea

I didn't like it at first glance, but the more I think about it, the more
sense it makes. The only proble

The point is that 120 (or Allegro) means 120 of "something or other" every
minute. That "something" got called "beat" in some earlier postings and
there were proposals to define it via things like L:beat=3/8 and a scheme
proposed for sensible defaults which were not the same as the L: defaults.
The Playford files have been all over the web for ages, and I've never
heard of anybody claiming copyrights for them.
As far as I understand, this was originally two or more independent
projects that gradually merged. I don't know if it was ever finished.
