Re: [L-OT] time sigs

2004-02-19 by steve parker

hi teddy.
i agree that n-tuplets should be used for stuff like this.
i just don't think that time sigs should do it.
3/4 changing to 3/8 could (and frequently does) mean that the bar of 
3/8 is the *same* absolute length as the previous 3/4 - not necessarily 
twice as quick.
have a new rule that (for example) going from 4/4 to 4/5 means that the 
4/5 is always quicker loses all kinds of musical subtleties.
if someone really wants to use equal non-5-tuplet fifths then they 
should definitely not be called quarter-notes and definitely not look 
like them either.
all the best!
