Hello,

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_hundred_fifty-sixth_note> states (in the last sentence) that ‘the shortest notated duration supported by any scorewriter program is the 4096th note’ in Finale. Which, obviously, is not the truth.
At making a test file, I realised that in LilyPond there is a limit, but it’s only at a (2^31–1)th note; the log said:

scm/lily.scm:1058:21: Value out of range -2147483648 to 2147483647: 1099511627776

:-)

Cheers, Simon
