>>Anthony Robb described the rhythm of a rant as "tomato". Checking the reference (Northumbrian Pipers' Society Magazine, Volume 29, 2008, page 20), I see that what he actually said was: "In a nutshell think bounce not speed and as a general rule if the pulse is coming out as tomato soup, tomato soup then it will be a true rant. If the pulse is more gob-stopper, gob-stopper then it isn't a rant, it's a reel." [The "ma" in "tomato" and the "gob" in "gob-stopper" are bold in the original text, but I doubt if that will be reproduced here.] Cheers, Paul Gretton -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
