Musicians just take their meters very seriously.
Try to do everything; you're bound to succeed with at least one.

Yeah, lol. I suck at maths.
Quote from: Jompa on July 09, 2013, 03:03:40 PMActually though, I think you misunderstood Slow and me: you see, we treated your eights as quarters, making half a measure of your 6/8 a measure of 3/4 to us. And that really shouldn't cause trouble with the arrangement, neither is it wrong. Which is why I said one could just choose (you'd have to double the note durations in 3/4 though. I probably should have said that..).
I know that! I was just expressing my opinion that 6/8 is better than 3/4 for this song. Neither are wrong, but I would arrange it in 6/8. It's just a personal preference.

Not really a flame war, Yugi..

I tried doing it on the beach of Italy with an out of pitch recorder, and I believe you are right.

I agree with Slow and Jompa, that's 3/4.  And E minor.

And Spit, the song is so bizarre and chromatic I'd barely even say minor, but its root is D.

#134
Starts off in A minor, 12/8 (or 6/8 I guess, if you really want)

EDIT: there are a lot of time signature changes in here, so I'll provide an outline.
Double time at 20 seconds in.
Switches to 6/4 at 38 seconds
Switches back to 12/8 at 1:13
Switches to a fast 3/4 at 1:30
Switches to 12/8 at 1:43
Switches to 4/4 at 2:25
Switches to 12/8 at 2:38

There's probably a short transition or two that I left out, but that's the jist of it.
I'm too lazy to look at key modulations, though :P
