-When entering notes, durations are designated by
-numbers and dots: durations are entered as their reciprocal
-values. For example, a quarter note is entered using a @code{4}
-(since it is a 1/4 note), while a half note is entered using a
-@code{2} (since it is a 1/2 note). For notes longer than a whole
-you must use the @code{\longa} (a double breve) and
-@code{\breve} commands.
-Note durations as short as 64th notes may be specified.
