Subject: RE: Reels, dots and hornpipes
I say publish undotted. Then it's up to the musician kicking the tune off. Writing them out dotted has the inevitable disadvantage that a clasically trained player will tend to play them as written, and that really doesn't work for a hornpipe.[quote greg stephens]
but then publish undotted and the classically trained player will play them even,and that doesnt work for a hornpipe either.
