Hi All,

When you do division on two durs a float is returned. When you divide a 
dur by a float you get a dur as well.

There are some examples on the reserved words page on the docs site.

Here is how you can divide two durs to make a new dur.

10::second => dur a;
5::second => dur b;
a/b => float g;
g::second => dur newdur;

Doing

a/b::second => dur q;

gives a parse error however.

This works nicely though.

10::second => dur a;
a/2. => dur b;

Hope that helps.
