What you type more or less aligns with the way I interpret it, if I understand you correctly. However, some well known players do not interpret it so. For example, in the first C maj volt, they hold the half note at the repeat mark bar for three beats and then start over. I and you, I think, would hold it for two beats and insert the last beat of measure one on the repeat. I was wondering if they know something we don’t, if Galilei mentions anything (my original question), if (there must be) other examples of similar structures and if any contemporary explains what to do.
Again if anybody can point me to an English translation, it would be fun to read even though there may not be any information on repeats. > On Dec 25, 2018, at 11:15 PM, Matthew Daillie <[email protected]> > wrote: > > From what I've seen it's pretty straightforward, you just need to replace the > upbeat at the end of the bar with the repeat sign with the anacrusis of the > first bar.
