not expressive enough for fractions, for one thing.
I would expect most people here are
"musicians" to some degree. It'd be a
pretty wierd thing to obsess about otherwise ;)
indeed. it seems there are few who have built a solid
theoretical foundation though, and that doesn't mean
western music theory only.
I think fp arithmetics have more effect or accuracy
than traditional
ways of thinking about meters - but I must be wrong, then.
they are simply not adequate in this context. I have an aversion to expressing anything like this as
an int, for both
artistic and technical reasons.
for technical reasons, you should prefer int i think.
for artistic reasons, well you can't argue with that.
if you get a chance to, do some experiments with non-integral
organization of musical time. i'm dead certain you'll never
want to go there a second time.
