c4/8 can be read as "a c quarter note, divided into eighths" -- quite nice
mnemonically.
That being said, I worry about scanning c4/8 versus c4*1/8 and not easily
seeing the difference.
[For the record, I use the cX*N/M construct a lot... Whether I should *have* to
or not is perhaps fodder for a different thread. However, it would take a lot
of evidence -- or one really brilliant idea -- to make me think that changing
*that* construct is advisable.]
So I think we can come up with something that is both typographically simple
and mnemonically compelling… How about c4t8 ("a c quarter note, tremolo-d in
eighths").
Cheers,
Kieren.
