Another masterpiece??

[Steel Rat]

I'm working on another really big piece called "The Ballad of the Marsh Winds."

 

There's a part in it, where the phrasing is (1 2 3) (1 2 3) (1 2) (1 2), and that phrase repeats. Anyone know what time signiture that is? o.O

 

(3, 3, 2, 2)

hmm...ten beats...looks like 2 groups of five to me.

 

 

(123)(451)(23)(45)

 

Yup, I'd say its in five.

 

 

Seriously you are the writer so, whatever makes sense

 

3/4

3/4

2/4

2/4

 

 

or

 

 

3/4

3/4

4/4

 

 

they do it like this sometimes

 

6/8

4/4

 

that might make the most sense.

Depends of the feel of the phrasing. It could be a bar of 6 then a bar of 4 judging by the groupings. You just need to determine whether it is quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, or whatever to come up with the denominator.

Sounds like a 6/8, 4/4 split to me, could be wrong tho Good luck with it

It's not 10/4.... it's not 5/4... It's not a split between two different measures types...

 

You guys're close... But it's just not right.

It's like... 2.5/4 which would be 5/8... But it sounds to me like it's half of 5/8.

Confusing as that is.   It's 3,3,2,2 all triplets... I need help >_<

You're making this way too complicated.

 

either the notes (beats) are equal length. Which is what we described are the measures are. The you have simply 2 triplets and 4 eighth notes.

>_< I'm just not getting it.

 

The notes are all equal length.

 

I'll take another look at it >_>

Without hearing it it is hard to tell from the description. The groupings in your initial post would seem to be a pair of triplets and a pair of "duplets." Plus, the description isn't clear as to whether we are talking about quarter notes, eighth notes, etc. So, again from your groupings, this would lead to any of the following: 1 bar of 3/x followed by another bar of 3/x followed by a bar of 4/x, or a bar of 6/x followed by a bar of 4/x, or a bar of 6/x followed by a bar of 2/x then another bar of 2/x, or 2 bars of 3/x followed by two bars of 2/x, or a bar of 10/x (x= quarter, eighth, sixteenth, etc.).
