Time signature options #2

Open b-cheek opened 1 year ago

What time signatures do you want to be present in v1.0? And for time signatures other than 4/4, explain how the chords per measure will be structured/limited, (e.g. maybe only 1 chord per measure in 3/4 unless custom)

For 1.0, I don't see much good reason to have anything besides common time, 6/8, and 3/4

4 measures per bar max in 4/4 and 1 max for 3/4 and 6/8

What do you think?

I thought maybe 2/4 and cut time may also be appropriate. I think 6/8 is fine, just a little less common in my experience. Also just thinking out loud that I'm going to put some thought into how 3/4 and 6/8 exercises may break up an arpeggiated pattern differently than other meters.
