I'm happy to add this... but what does #(ly:make-moment 1 15) do? I
thought that make-moment X Y created a duration of X Y-notes (ie 5 4
would create a duration of length 5 quarter notes). I don't think we
have any 15th notes... or was that just a typo for 16?
Hmm... maybe I should add a section in chapter 9 on "definitions of
technical constructs".
