The Logic Off Topic list

hi teddy.
a breve is the note the length of two whole notes (or semibreves).
leon's definition even of "2 because the breve is divided by 2" should 
actually be "2 because the semibreve is divided by 2"
this still makes no more mathematical sense than saying....
"the bottom number is 2 because the *breve* is divided by 4"
or
"the bottom number is 2 because the crotchet is doubled by 2"

these relationships in a piece of music have to be defined to be true 
(crotchet = quaver, or crotchet = crotchet...whatever).
