+There is no fundamental limit to note durations (both in terms of
+longest and shortest), but the number of glyphs is limited: there
+are flags up 64th and rests up to 128th.  At the other extreme,
+there are note heads up to longa (4x whole note) and rests up to
+maxima (8 x whole).  Since beams can be extended arbitrarily,
