I've not considered _any_ part of the manuals yet.  You are likely
right, but no fun: this section of the manual would rather suggest that
\scaleDurations should likely be made to accept the same kind of
multiplier, and that appears, like, really icky.

Do we then need a predicate factor? that will accept either a number
pair (in lieu of a fraction) or a (non-negative?) rational or a moment?

The predicate fraction? remains necessary for indicating "musical"
fractions (used for meters and tuplets) which are not adequately
represented with rational numbers because 3/2 and 6/4 need to be
differentiated.
