I really like using the t statement to humanise. I updated a preprocessor I
use to set the t during a piece as often as I want. You can listen to the
fluid time results here:

For one run through the preprocessor the t statement looks like the
following. Each time is different, with random choices made by the
preprocessor, so this one may have been for another take.

t0    1200      12    540     60    720     204    540     252   1800
540    540     636   1080     828    360     924   1800    1164   1080
1308   1800    1644    720    1836   1800    2124   1080    2268  1800
2604   1440    2844   1800    3228   1800    3516  1440    3900    540
3948   1800    4284    360    4332   1440    4716    540    4812    720
5004    240

Start at tempo 1200 beats per minute, then at beat 12 slow to 540, then at
beat 60 speed up to 720, and so on. A typical quarter note is 16 beats in
the score. The tempo shifts from 360 to 720 throughout the piece, ending at
240 beats per minute.
