I think it would be better to phrase it as: 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, beamed notes can be arbitrarily short.
Ok. I'm not certain that people care about the difference between glyphs and "program limitations", but this is in a @refbugs, so it's already on a more technical level. I think this discussion is over. Cheers, - Graham
