Hmm. You pronounce "mathematical" differently than I do. My rhythm
for it is 8th 8th 16th 16th 8th, with "ma-ti" being a subdivision of
the length of the other syllables. In other words, four feet.
Canadian. I have no other explanation.
This came up a while ago, and some regions drop the "e", making it four
syllables, not unlike the beginning of a Viennese waltz QEEQ.
Yes, I can distort the pronunciation to be a quintuplet.
Try this one from an older musician than I am: for quintuplets say
"Lollobrigida." For septuplets, say "Gina Lollobrigida." Hey, works for
me!
