rename Timecode::BBT_Time::ticks_per_beat to Timecode::BBT_Time::ticks_per_bar_division which is a more accurate and informative name. The number doesn't describe the smallest division of a "beat" (which is only defined contextually anyway), but rather the smallest division of the the divisions of a bar. If using a meter of 4/8, there are 4 divisions per bar, and we can divide each one into ticks_per_bar_division pieces; in a separate meter (section) of 3/8, there are 3 divisions per bar, each of which can be divided into ticks_per_bar_division_pieces.

The number is intended to have as many integer factors as possible so that
1/Nth divisions are integer numbers of ticks.
1920 is the largest legal value that be used inside an SMF file, and has many factors.
