Notation \compoundMeter isn't documented

Thanks for the explanation.

I'm afraid not...  It looks like you're reading the syntax in the wrong way.

Well I was but deliberately so, you see I am pretending to be a 'dumb user'  
and do things that are 'kind' of the same and 'look' like they should work.

and so I was just checking

i. That if I break it, we don't seg fault but give at least an error (which  
we do)
ii. That if I am doing something that 'looks like it should work' but  
doesn't, I understand why it doesn't and this helps me give a better  
definition in the document that I can articulate to a user that is going to  
be like me (and not really understand the technicality of 'lists and Scheme  
etc.

So I can improve things like

\compoundMeter (list of numbers)

Anyway, appreciate the update, I will look at your suggestions here and on  
the Reitveld and make a new patch in the next day or so.
