From: Tim Hockin >A tick is the hosts finest level of granularity. This abstraction allows for hosts to have very fine or very coarse accuracy, depending on the needs of the situation.
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.
