I would think there will be much less chance that someone start tapping in 2 and 4 if it were written in 2/4 :-) >Similarly -- since *you* know what a true Brazillian bossa sounds, I >expect you don't suddenly lose all of that knowledge when presented >with a 4/4 lead sheet that says "Bossa" at the top (even if it's not >notated the way you'd like). Hm, maybe I am a sensitive type? :-) I certainly won't groove (as in picturing the hot and humid Ipanema beach) if they are not written in 16th-8th-16th pattern. Notation is very phycological to me. Maybe just me, tho. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
