LilyPond and Guile rationals?

[David Kastrup]

Hi,

I am getting increasingly annoyed at the abuse of pairs and Moment for
denoting rational numbers, and the Rational C++ type has no interfaces
of its own to Scheme.

Does LilyPond have a history where Guile did not support rational
numbers?

I am currently trying to do some cleanup in the area of rational number
"interfaces" (there have been a few issues in the past week), and there
is actually quite a bit of actually non-working code due to trying to
manually simulate rational arithmetic and getting it wrong.
