Default Re: Anyone who knows about time signatures help.

You could always try the trusty old 'dance test' - if you fall down while dancing to it... it's likely an odd meter!

Seriously, it's based on the the # of quarter or eighth notes per bar so you just need to count it (if it is in seven make sure you only give "seven" 1 'count' - back in the day we had a friend who thought he was playing in seven and proceeded to count it out for us... one-two-three-four-five-six-se-ven... doh!).

7/x examples include Money (Pink Floyd), the intro to Subdivisions (Rush), or Solsbury Hill (Peter Gabriel).

Does it 'feel' like one of those? Could you post a couple bars of it somewhere for us to preview?
