/12 meters
My objection to these meters is that they tell you what the
subdivision is, and give you no help whatsoever with identifying the
beat.
I would much prefer something like:
3+2+3+2+2
---------
8
to anything over /12.
Identifying the beat in /12 is NO DIFFERENT to in /8. At all. It's
just the speed of the pulse is altered. I still do not understand what
is difficult about it - have you actually tried looking at music with
these metres, or are you talking about it on an abstract level?
No, I don't have access to any such music.
Sounds to me like it doesn't need *any* time signature if something
over /12 gives you all the information you need.
Sorry, but this is an unresolvable dispute. My concept of music
simply doesn't allow something as illiterate as /12 when there are
plenty of musically literate alternatives for conveying the same
information.
'Your concept of music' is the final judgement?!
