Hello, As long as there is no tempo change, nothing happens when you go from 4/4 to 4/8. The 4/8 measure would simply be one half of a 4/4 measure. You could also say 2/4 & still nothing would change other than how you would read the measure unless the time sig change was accompanied with a tempo change. > > mark francombe to Loopers-Delight: > > can someone explain to me what 4:4 is in comparison to 4:8? > > Isn't "half tempo" and "double tempo" a good way of digesting that? > > Per > Mark Showalter Minden Jot! myspace.com/folkstone57 http://www.last.fm/music/Mark+Showalter <a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/99/F2BFFC9AD8D6528EA1E10C1043965108.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a> -- _______________________________________________ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 9 at http://www.opera.com
