dlloyd Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Here's an early version of the common time signature, in mensural notation (again, no barlines) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eight Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Great posts guys. No bar lines makes a lot of sense to me. So I'll add to my reform of standard notation by removing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As part of this I had to help her transcribe them into modern notation, and its impossible to tell where you are without counting notes or looking for particular figures. It's also a total PITA to do in computer notation. They did use breves (and some longer notes) though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could probably be notated differently, but whether it would be simpler to do that for musicians who are familiar with contemporary classical... I don't know. The beat is a twelfth of a semibreve, so it's the same as a quaver triplet. Notate it as (4/3)/8? What note values did he use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I honestly can't recall- it was passed around in a lecture, I can't even recall if we actually listened to it or not. I think the simplest way to do it would be to just change the speed but no doubt there's a good reason for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
