Thanks Stephen for that code, which was very helpful.  By correcting two
errors you made in the preceding code, I have now gotten the results I
wanted.  It seems that the Ada realtime clock IS capable of timing those
intervals.  In the lines above, Delta_Sixteenth_Note needed to be replaced
by Delta_SixtyFourth_Note and Delta_128th_Note.

Now it seems we have a viable timer.
Thanks again.
