Meter & Pulse

[Deleted]

Current discussion of meter and pulse has got me in a dither. I have a piece that to me seems to demand 2/8. The bass consists primarily of 16th note dyads,not quite ostinato, but somewhat resembling a boogie woogie bass. I am considering changing it to 24, but that does not seem right to me. Comments welcome.

Keep the 2/8 if the music has not very extreme quantizations, such as 32th, 64th, and so forth (which would be likely the case if the music has a lively tempo). The drawback of 2/8 is that a larger amount of ink would be needed.

Well, Juan, after much re-consideration, it seems that the best solution is 4/8, and it will soon be uploaded to Score Exchange.
