Hi List. This is a question about notational judgment.
I have a several-bar phrase in quick 5/8 time (qtr. + dotted qtr., but quick enough to allow only one felt beat per bar), and want to give its first bar a tempo spec equivalent to <full-measure-value> = 80 So, how shall I specify that value? I figure my options are: 1) "Meas =" 2) { \note #"4" #1 } tied to { \note #"4." #1 } "=" or simply 3) { \note #"2." #1 } "=" I tend to favor #3, counting on the original meaning of the Dot -- to lengthen to some needed if not-quite-metrically-exact extent. If you saw that in a score, would it strike you as sensible, or just wrong? Thanks for any responses.
