Re: where is the local documentation?

2008-02-26 Thread Mats Bengtsson

Hi, Kurt - When I brought up my definition, it certainly was not intended to be exclusive (as in the only definition). I was trying to point out that there was an alternative meaning to polymeter. I have no easy answer to the problem(s), especially since I think polymeter or complex meter can
