I wrote a piece in 12/8 because it’s a quite slow blues.
Tried it with my community band (did not go too well) and they gave me the feedback that if it was written in simple 4/4 with swing articulation they would have done better.
Now, what is the best way to convert 12/8 to 4/4?
All I’m thinking of right now is to go through it in insert mode and convert all quarter notes to eighth notes, and to rewrite all eighths rhythms as triplets.
If you won’t lose too much work by going the XML route, this is, FWIW, a one-click operation in Finale, using Jari Williamson’s (free) Meter and Rhythm plugin…
Thanks Daniel, I know of these plans and I’m really looking forward to your implementation.
I can’t wait that long, though. Need to rework my piece in the next few weeks
