Night Owl--RE the 8 note which for some reason is a problem here. I had decided that I would just translate it to 8/1 to help absorb some of this info.

Good thinking. That works.

Gary...are you saying it would be 1b for the high do instead of my 8/1??

Actually, if you say 1-7, then 1a-7a, then 1b-7b, the 8/1 would be 1a and the 1b could be 15/1. I hope that's clear.
