Default Hi Guy, A lot of work in this

Hi Guy,
A lot of work in this transcription...can I send some of my improvisations for you to do too? (just joking...but my ear is no longer up to yours!)


Very good job indeed.

Couple of things which might help you or anyone trying to play from the transcription. Time signatures like 13/16 make a performer fall over (!). A lot of this is dual time stuff: if the rhythm of the those 13/16 bars actually supposed to be 3+2 beats, with triplets playing against the first three beats,it'd be easier to read scored as 3/8 (=9/16) + 2/8 (=4/16) and split each 13/16 bar accordingly. Easier to read too if you double all note values so 9/16 becomes 9/8 and 4/16 becomes 4/8 becomes 2/4. Saves ink too!!
