Does 9/8 (3/4) mean anything different from (3 + 3 + 3)/8 ? To my novice eye, both mean that it's 9/8 with three primary beats per measure. Also to my novice eye, it seems that 9/8 can/t have a 3/4 alternate time signature; perhaps a (3/4.) , but not a (3/4). I;m not trying to be argumentative, or say that the original composer/engraver is wrong. I'm just interested understanding some of the new conventions. THanks, Carl
