Calculate the length of a musical beat?

Not realy a request, just an idea for a little helper tool. The example of a 6/8 beat with 190 beats per minute is used to calculate the number of notes per second with nps = bpm / 60. Then, with spn = 1 / nps, the seconds per note. Since the BPM is given by quarters, the length of a bar is calculated in seconds using len = spn * ((6/8) * 4). I use this calculation for the timing of chasers and fx.
