you can, without loss of information, express both as ticks,
and you're back to the uniform timebase.
many uses of tempo-sync only make use of small note lengths
(16th, 8th triplet etc) so they do not need this mapping.
those that do not should be able to share these timelines if
you think it is worth the trouble allowing them in multitude.
