#2. I just spent more than an hour with Hyacinth tying my brain in knots with edge case hypothetical scenarios
Text
Spent a significant portion of a road trip trying to explain time signatures to Hyacinth, with ultimately this breakthrough:
Hyacinth: Oh! The lower number is how many ticks of the metronome you skip!
Nimbler, a bowed string player: wut
Hyacinth, a beginning plucked string player: It's how many ticks of the metronome you don't play on!
I had been wondering how plucked strings handle the distinction between whole notes and quarter-followed-by-three-rests...
#Nimblermortals Senf#this probably is not super coherent but 1. neither am I#2. I just spent more than an hour with Hyacinth tying my brain in knots with edge case hypothetical scenarios#what if you had 32/8 time? he asks#what if you had 16/32?#what do you mean the lower number is for time but doesn't say how slow it is?#oh it's about how many ticks of the metronome you skip!
