I would take that with a grain of salt though. It's frequently the case
that decimals are used when a fraction is more precise. While 1.25 is
mathematically exactly equivalent to 1 1/4, they are very different in terms of
precision, and the ".25" is particularly suspicious looking. It could be that
the value of the <loghqam> is simply closer to 5/4 than to either 4/4 or
6/4, which is quite a large variance.
