It halves the count. Why go farther than that? > Any other opinions? Not on the facts. But I agree that the numbers should be the default, and that "common" and "cut" should be required for the C forms. The appearance of scores with single measures of changing meter, as in "Here Comes the Sun", is a very cogent argument to me. I asked for this many years ago. I wish I had thought of that in terms of changing meter. You just don't see "C" except at the beginning of lines. daveA -- Paying more at the gas pump?
