This is exactly the reverse of how I expected polyrhythmic music to
work. I was thinking that the bars would line up but the notes
wouldn't - i.e. a bar of 4/4 would last the same time as a bar of
3/4 (which means the length of a crotchet in the 3/4 bar is 4/3 the
length of a crotchet in the 4/4 bar).
So, are both options used in polyrhythmic music or am I completely
mistaken in my assumptions?
