I can follow till here but you did ommit some explanations about "DOUBLES" and TRIPLES" and "SINGLES" ???? without some more all the minimum 2 beat justification doesnt make sense because if I have a strong feel of the beat I have no problem separating N from N or whatever other combination > If you were to hear a string player play this particular rhythm, your > brain doesn't come in and say > "That's not a TRIPLE, That's a DOUBLE on the last beats of 1 and a SINGLE > on the first beat of 2 why if I clearly know where the beat is ? SNIPPED again thanks a lot Rick Claude PS: I'm asking those details because I was there in Zurich enjoying all the brilliant clapping you made us go thru and I suspect there is a little more to it :=)
