A good rule of thumb is to phrase to the long note and hook the short note to the long note (no gaps) --for renaissance, of course-- then adjust by ear for a cross accent if you wish.
mss sources tend to suggest a prototypical coulee/pointee hierarchy as well, especially in divisions. I favor this over square dotting if the effect is subtle. dt and At 08:27 AM 4/13/2008, you wrote: >On 13/04/2008, Stephen Kenyon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > If playing in duple where would the stress fall? > > >Upon the player... > >Rob > >PS Sorry about that flippant response - I'm suffering from flu at the >moment, and don't feel up to what you are asking of me (my fault, not yours >- I'm happy to discuss these things usually).
