Hello,

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_hundred_fifty-sixth_note> states
(in the last sentence) that ‘the shortest notated duration supported
by any scorewriter program is the 4096th note’ in Finale. Which,
obviously, is not the truth.
At making a test file, I realised that in LilyPond there is a limit,
but it’s only at a (2^31–1)th note; the log said:

scm/lily.scm:1058:21 <1>: Value out of range -2147483648 to
2147483647: 1099511627776
I rather doubt that the Midi file will be overly convincing.
Indeed, it’s a mess, and the note reverberates until the software crashes or is terminated. But layout works.
