    And I would like to add another possibility for that. I have switched it over to 6/8. Actually really enjoy it there it gives it a little job that it’s always seemed lacking to me. Unfortunately IRP does not handle 6/8 very elegantly so you have to use your imagination a bit, but the feeling is there. Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most 1 - Tommy Wolf

    See if 3/2 feels more to your liking:

    That works perfectly, Bob.

    However, iReal Pro doesn't treat 3/2 as 3/2, with three beats to the bar. It treats it as 6/4, with two groups of three beats each to the bar, which is why it works in your version.

    So for notation, it's more accurate to use 6/4.

    Cheers,

    Thanks Jer.
    As far as the iRp player goes, it sounds like there's not much difference between 3/2 and 6/4.

    6/4 certainly makes more sense with what's actually happening.

    6/4-3/2 comparison:

    Of course. I forgot that it's easy to mix time signatures for a side-by-side comparison.

    Yep. Exactly the same.

    Strange that the developers didn't catch the error in the 3/2 time.

    Feliz año a ti también.

    Saludos,

    While playing around with the time-sig's, I tried 12/8 for the first line of the B section.

    An interesting rhythmic twist...

    It's a little too fast to get the feeling of four triplets. It just sounds like a variant of 4/4 to me.
