Example result

Encode the denominator as log₂(denominator). The event is FF 58 04 followed by numerator, exponent, clocks and notated 32nd notes.

Standard 4/4 with 24 clocks and 8 notated 32nds becomes FF 58 04 04 02 18 08.

Output excludes delta-time. A time-signature event does not itself change tempo.
