That's exactly the point.
The musicians I play with last 17 years in this country,
Bar 5 means the middle of an 8 bars phrase section,
Bar 9 means the middle of a 16 bars phrase section,
Bar 17 means the middle of a 32 bars phrase section,
And no one cares over number 32 :-)

It's a lot faster for them to locate during rehearsal.
If this is not conventional, that's fine with me.

Of course it is not that common for me to write in conventional harmonic
rhythm anymore so this might be a moot subject to me.
