Seems to me that now / minute => float; should be an error.

now is an instant, not a duration. I feel the concepts should be kept separate.

I thought about this now. There's some merit to it, after all you are very right that instances and durations are separate things and for a moment I considered that yours might be a more logical way out then mine but in a way ChucK derives a lot of power from using these loosely.

now - (now % T) => now;

...like in the OTF examples is a good example of that, here "now" acts very much like the duration since the VM's birth and not like a instant. Taking a modulo of a instant makes no sense at all while taking one of a duration does.

I'm a bit lost here now (no pun intended but it's funny) perhaps Ge will have some insights to share about the underlying plan.
