Look, either there is a proportion or there isn't. If there is, you
can put it in a tempo marking (e.g.: "8:7 faster"), and if there
isn't, you can't put it in a time sig. Throwing in rits. or accels.
makes no difference.
Why do they make no difference? All that I'm talking about is a
transitition from one tempo, to another 9/8ths faster. What is the
problem with that?
OK, lets do this in baby steps.
If I have an accelerando followed by a new tempo, then there are only
four possibilities:
1) The accelerando leads smoothly up to the new tempo, in which case the
instructions should be "accel....al...9:8 faster" (I suspect this is the
case you had in mind.)
Yes, this is the one I had in mind. But this way of indicating it is
still potentially misleading, as it could be interpreted as
'accel.....subito 9:8 faster'. Giving the calculated metronome marking,
including decimals if necessary, removes any potential error.
