The snippet works perfectly for me under 2.13.56.  It also has to work under
2.13.55 to complete the documentation for 2.13.55.

This error message indicates that you are trying to set beatLength, which is
no longer a valid property for 2.13.55.  beatLength has been replaced with
baseMoment and beatStructure.
