Oh yes, absolutely! I blindly copied Hans' line and ended up
forgetting the denominator.

It's a pity, however, that the number of args has to be hardcoded.
Would it be possible to write some "universal" compound-meter
function, where the numbers would be automatically taken into account
except the last number, which would be taken as denominator?
