Re: 'baroque' time signatures

Hi Mario,

please always include the list as well.

> Sorry Michael for my ignorance, but what is the meaning of the acronym MWE?

MWE == Minimum Working Example

It means a piece of code as short as possible that just shows the faulty 
or suspicious behaviour.

That greatly helps others to help you because they see and understand 
what you do and possibly what is wrong.

Another side effect is that while creating the MWE you often come to a 
point where it starts to work which will give you a hint as to what was 
wrong in the first place.

I don't know the music you are typesetting but I have successfully used 
either of the following:
\tempo \breve. = 100
\tempo \breve. = 200
\tempo \breve. = 300
and they resulted in different speed upon playback.

That's what I wrote in my previous email. When it does not work for you, 
then there may be something else that's wrong with your code but w/o 
knowing what you do nobody can tell for sure.

Kind regards,
Michael
