I like the idea overall. Looks like something that would be fun to combine with music programming languages (SuperCollider/Of etc).

Not so sure how human-friendly the fractional beats are? Is that something that people more into music than I am are comfortable with? I would have expected something like MIDIs "24 ticks per quarter note" instead. And a format like bar.beat.tick. Maybe just because that is what I am used to.

The library has MIT license, I would be more than happy to see people use it in different synths.

I'm planning to add support for math formulas in beat numbers, something like: "15+/3+/4" = 15.58333

> "15+/3+/4"

Can you explain how to read that? 15 plus divided by 3 plus divided by 4?

		It's a shorthand for 15 + (1/3) + (1/4), but I'm still not settled on the syntax.

It should be fine, but fractions (or both fractions and decimals) would be preferable in order to express triplets (3 over 2, effectively a duration of 0.3333...)
