Re: TimeSignature with note in denominator

Please explain why I need to, specifically in the context of a note-denominator 
time signature — because it’s not at all clear to me that I need to.

Please explain why there needs to be, specifically in the context of a 
note-denominator time signature — because it’s not at all clear to me that 
there needs to be.

Please explain why you think me saying I’ll accept (ly:make-duration 4 0 4/5) 
as the input, specifically in the context of a note-denominator time signature, 
is “handwaving” — because it’s not at all clear to me how that’s true.

Thanks,
Kieren.
