[CM] is x a rhythm/a keynum?

[Rick Taube]

you are correct, currently there are no predicates that test for rhythm 
or keynum. however, depending on how simple your rhythm/keynumber 
testing needs to be you may be able to use the undertlying functions 
for this. assuming you are using CLTL try:

(defun rhythmp (x) (gethash x *rhythms*))

(defun keynump (x) (and (numberp x) (<= 0 x 127))


limitations; the rhythmp function will fail for things like w-s and the 
keynump function assumes the standard (midi) scale and doesnt allow 
note names.
