Returns the corresponding tick value of the length-symbol. The tick values are autocorrected so that they add to the right tick sum in longer run. Auto-correction takes place if the tick value cannot be realized as a one tick value, as is the case with very small length symbols.

Autocorrection handles all cases keeping the ticks withing a range, no matter in what order they are generated. It works keeping track of generated irrational lengths and calculates new values agains already calculated values, zeroing the process after the -n or the required number of dots ..... Nonstandard lengts like 1/5, 1/7 will be also adjusted.
