I think Perry and I came up with the syntax of:

100::ms => dur quarter;
4::<quarter> => dur whole;

changing quarter would also affect whole.
This is currently not implemented.  It is (now)
a high priority.

So far, it is possible only for shreds in the same source
file to share global data.  (see examples/wind2,
mand-o-matic, moogie, or grep for 'spork')

Soon (in the next major release), there will much more
freedom in sharing data, using both global value maps,
as well as static data of classes/namespaces/shreds.
This is a very high priority.

Most of this should be available later this month.

Best,
Ge!
