It does make sense to me as well as it did to Christopher. I think the key here is "style" as in "culture".

Nutty.) Well, I must disagree on this, tho. Unless the style is jazz waltz, you don't swing 3/4 as 1, 2, 3. You swing on the downbeat only. I can't stand when unknown drummer swing on 1, 2, 3 on my compositions because I don't write jazz waltz. In the same context, you want to swing in 2 beats on All Blues, so 6/8 is much more logical than 6/4 to me. I hope I am making a sense here. -- - 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
