I gave an example of a true irrational time signature [1]. The code is actually
written in 12/8, with a MIDI approximation in 19/8. Such meter approximations
can be obtained using continued fractions convergents [2]. For the rendering,
it suffices with an approximation that separates and orders the notes that
occur at different times. For the MIDI it suffices to be within its accuracy,
or alternatively, what performers might do.
