hmmm... hand written sheet music from the forties, huh?

smells like a real book to me...

Nah, it's just some notes that S1 took when he was a bit younger.  :P

Just while we were on the subject, this came up in conversation:

"lucem: so, meters like 15 / 45 are possible"

Now this, correct usage, highlighted for me a verrrrry common incorrect use of terms, one of which I am very often an offender! I don't feel bad though because I'm in a club of people doing this... uhm.. almost everyone is a member. I am sure I could be quoted as having said things like:

"The time signature is 3/4" or "it's in a time sig of 7/8" or similar... No, it's not.

"The METER is 3/4" or "it has a METER of 7/8". Correctly, or:

"The time signature is a fraction" or it's time signature is in fractional form"...

Now I guess it makes sense as fractional time signatures are the standard representation of meter... But still it's not right.

Like I said, just because it came up... and Learning is fun.

Anyway nILS gets gold star for first correct answer (mine doesn't count because I thought I was wrong!), lucem gets extra credit  :D Go make music now... or code or something useful :D
