david, coming from you, this kind of comment is like someone who doesn't (want to) swim and hates being in water stating his preference for fresh water lakes over saltwater seas.

i would suggest that 3+2+3+2+2/12 is no different than your example, as did owain, but there is conceptual blockage here, so i won't bother.


No, it's not in any respect the same, as my alternative uses numbers that indicate actual note values, not the fraction of a whole note.

You're right that this is an unresolvable dispute.

You're approach screams "musically illiterate" to me, and leaves out the most important parts of music, rhythmic subdivision.

There is no chance of my ever accepting /12 time signatures because they are fundamentally opposed to everything I know about music, meter and rhythm.

Everything you know *so far* about music, metre and rhythm, perhaps.


It is a perfect example of everything I hate about certain schools of rhythmic thought, where rhythm is additive rather than metric.

What on earth does this mean? And does it relate to anything that has been talked about?
