But the problem is tha the editor read the passage as meaning 3x2/4 instead of 6x1/4. If 4/4 is not 2x2/4 (and it's not), then I don't think it's write to say that the passage you're talking about is 3x2/4. If it *is*, then 3/2 (which is 3/H) is completely appropriate. That you say it is not proves that it's not in 3x2/4, but 6x1/4. -- David W.
