With the separately discussed "isolated durations are pitch-less NoteEvent in noteentry", you could use arguments like { 8 ~ 8. } = { 4 } and such music arguments would get passed through a \score markup using a specific TempoStaff without stafflines and with nice dimensions, also allowing for specs like \tempo \times 2/3 { 4 8 } = 64
Just to be clear I understand, this last example means "triplet quarter + eighth = 64", and would be equivalent to regular quarter = 64, correct?
It looks quite an elegant formulation as (again, if I understand correctly) it allows an arbitrary combination of durations (tied and non-tied) to be used as the beat length. I can also see other applications in other contexts for a pitchless NoteEvent.
Basically, I think with this single post you've removed all my concerns about the \tempo command and its future. :-)
