Subject: RE: Practicing abc notation
treewind, I think it's OK like it is. I had to listen to it in Cakewalk and hear the round. Somehow the rhythm at concertina.net is a little awkward. You're right in saying that there should be 3 notes for each quarter note...but to notate this.....you have to put c/ (which means 3 notes in the place of two eighth notes). If you put c......then you end up with 5 measures.
Sheila, you probably know this....I like to put a slash for an eighth note and a double slash for a sixteenth note. It's just faster for me.
My main problem in this one was trying to decide if it should be 4/4 time or 2/4. Anyone know how to decide?
