I understood immediately what he meant by it. Something like this:
p. 4, m. 67, tenor part

It's a case where I want to clarify that the middle part is in 12/4
while the other two parts are in 3/1.
OK, yes, I'd understand that immediately and intuitively. I just
don't think I've come across it before. And was the point (which
I've lost track of) that it means the same thing in modern music,
then?
Of course the same thing happens in the treble in bar 66, and that is
not marked. And the figures starting in 108 are marked differently
(and I agree with the groupings). And the motives starting at 116
are especially interesting. It's hard NOT to play the beginnings as
syncopes.
Does the transcription work as well as it looks that it should on paper?
