Default I've been out and just got

I've been out and just got back in tonight. Looked at your two rewrites of the metres for the piece, and it is absolutely fascinating, Mark. It hadn't dawned on me that giving the first beat of the bar as an upbeat would result in a much clearer score in terms of easier visual presentation and performance. The 2:3 beat is there still, but it does make the piece so much easier to beat (even for me who wrote the thing!) that I think you are quite correct in re-transcribing it. It works a lot better that way. The other option, of course is for the conductor to act as if there was a silent upbeat before the start of the piece, but given that this makes less sense than the strong beat dropping on the first semi-quaver of the beat, I feel that your version of the meter worrks a lot better and is easier to beat and follow. And I'm so glad you liked the ending - I was rather pleased with it myself - all done in the best possible taste!

----Peter (with thanks)
