I just ran Nikita's code with 2.7.38 (after fixing a couple of obvious 
problems).  Actually Lily happily placed 10 beats in the 9/4 bar and did 
the line break where Nikita placed it.  Lily gave no errors.

Would it not be helpful if Lily gave an error when the wrong number of 
beats are in a bar or are there musical cases when the wrong number of 
beats in a bar are acceptable?
