 I knew immediately what John meant when he said "cut time in 3" as would
 many of the musicians I work with.

I knew what he meant, too, but it's not a concept that those of us
who perform music notated in that meter ALL THE TIME actually use. At
least not in my experience at Oberlin and NYU (and that may be the
key -- *my* experience).

I may have made the term up (although I don't claim to have done so), but if I did it was because it makes sense to my students given the music they're used to seeing.
