My apologies for pouring on the liquid nitrogen…  =)

To be honest, my recent forays into polymeter would surely have demonstrated my 
folly had any of my polymetric scores involved repeats. It’s not for you to 
sweat about, though it will be nice to make things explicit in the 
documentation so nobody else builds up a 20-plus-year library of 
minefield-laden scores.

Cheers,
Kieren.
