Subject: Tech: Reels/Hornpipes/Jigs phrasing & accents
Two questions:



The DT does not have a broad enough selection there are not enough midi examples.



#1.

I need to understand the tradition phrasing/pauses/emphasis to work a piano or accordian with a guitar (sometimes fiddle.)



Is the downbeat always 1&3 in a 6/8? Is the note after a rest always accented. The notation is fabulous - it is the "style" I am unable to capture.



#3

The DT list is complete? So any tunes available but not on the list .... should be e-mailed as midi to Joe Offer?



Sincerely,

Gargoyle
