Yes, Thomas Ades and Brian Ferneyhough and Kyle Gann and many others have written music in non-binary meters like 7/6 and 21/10 and so on. This is hardly unusual nowadays. In fact, these kinds of meters go all the way back to Henry Cowell's "New Musical Resources," written in 1930, though Cowell used idiosyncratic notation (diamond-shaped and square-shaped noteheads) instead of a non-binary meter. But this kind of stuff has been done in serious contemporary music since 1930 at least, so it's hardly earth-shattering or exotic.
Irrational meters like 5 in the time of the cube root of 1119, now, that's considered exotic today. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/compound-time-signature-with-non-duple-denominator-tp195829p196107.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
