Wanted to look up the time signature of the song Bombing Mission from FF7 by Nobuo Uematsu. It's in 4/4 but has a triplet beat throughout so I thought there might be some complexity.

WTF?
Is this allowed?

Gemini can make mistakes? That's some of the most ######## AI ######### I've seen and I studied music theory in college. Hence why I'm a trucker now.
First off, nobody would write or notate a song in 29/16 if it was actually to be performed by a musician. I dont know that song specifically but it would ultimately be a rotation of the 1 downbeat. An example would be how the band Tool uses rotating time signatures. You'd could have a bar of 7/16, then 8/16, then 5/16, then 3/16, then 4/16 for example. Counting past single syllable numbers ####s up your rhythm and count. Even long time signatures like 15/16 are a mess to count, especially if you have to follow what bars you're on. 29/16 is just ridiculous even though it is theoretically possible as a time signature.
What isn't possible as a time signature is this 71907/40120 nonsense. Anyone who claims that is a time signature is a blight on the music world and clueless.
First off, I'm not even sure how to put to words how nonsensical this drivel is. 72000/40000 would be about 9/5 or 18/10 distilled down. Music isn't annotated or subdivided by anything other than 2. The smallest time signature you could have and still call it music would be 2/2. Then you can subdivided the subdivision by 2. So 2/4, 2/8, 2/16, 2/32, etc. generally stopping at 32nd notes for practicality purposes. Non-conforming subdivisions such as triplets or quintuplets would be annotated as (subdivision-triplet/quintuplet/septuplet/etc.) e.g.: 16th note triplets. Having a number that isn't an exponential of 2 isn't music theory. It's made up ########. Additionally, having a ~72000 beat is an absurdity in and of itself. This would mean that 1 doesn't come back around for 72000, 40000th notes? What? That's note music as there isn't an established rhythm. There are 3 components that make music, melody, harmony, and rhythm. Without rhythm, you have no structure to the noise. A harmony or melody without a structure of some description is just random noise that can't be replicated because there is no way to order it in time. Therefore, if we completely sidestep the ability for a human to even perform this gibberish, you would find that the downbeat or 1 is indecipherable and thus just an endless string of meandering notes. Not that any human could perform an approximately 72000/40000 time signature.
