zero-beat figures confuse A1 A2 B1 B2 #378

Open cranhandler opened 6 years ago

[Update: gravitate 0-beat figures up to the preceding A1/B2, not down to the next A1/B2, because dancers need to know what to setup before the next stanza arrives]

This wasn't an issue before where 'meanwhiles' were the only 0-beat figure I encountered, but now that 'instant waves' take 0 beats, and are common, I'm frequently seeing this:

It's clear to me that 'B1' appearing twice is a problem. Is the dividing line between A2 and B1 in the right place? I seem to remember it being rather tricky to decide which is the right place for it.

I updated this to say that 0-beat figures need to gravitate up. That's correct, right @cranhandler ?

Yes.
