That did the trick, thanks!

(Gilles, thanks for your suggestion, too; I’d considered that, but
really wanted to compare the notes, not possibly equal-in-length but
differently constructed durations.)

First, I should note that 1 2 0 0 is not a half note, but a
double-dotted half note, and 2 4 0 0 is a quadruply-dotted quarter note.
 Durations are confusing. (-:

But anyway, that is exactly what I want!  I would not want a half note
to match two quarter notes; I want to know whether they are both half
notes, or both two quarter notes.

I did consider it... but would love some help making it a bit more
general first.  Anyone have any tips?
