But that is exactly the point. There _is_ no finest level of granularity to 
musical time.
Musical time is infinitely divisible.

A tick is not an abstraction (what does it abstract?), it is an imposed 
limitation. I have yet to see any reason, let alone a compelling one, for 
imposing this limitation.
