For example, a dotted minim followed by a quaver, although arithmetically correct, would be difficult as it would "hide" the 4/3 or 3/4 feel. In 7:8 this is usually expressed so as to give a 4 followed by 3 beat feel with the emphasis on the 1st and 5th beat or 3 beats followed by 4 with the emphasis on the 1st and 4th beats but you could use accents to give any feel you wanted as long as musicians could play it.īeaming across the weak beats should be avoided as this makes it harder to feel the groove. Musicians need to be able to see where the beats fall. The important thing would be maintain identity with the pulse so accurate beaming would be essential. So would a minim, 2 quavers and 2 semi quavers. To answer your question directly in 7:8 there are 7 eighth notes (quavers) in a bar so 3 crotchets and a quaver would do as together this would add up to 7 8th notes. So in a bar of 4:4 you could see a single semibreve 2 minims 4 crotchets 8 quavers 16 semi quavers 32 demi semi quavers or any combination of these as long as they added up to 4 crotchet beats. The quavers on the first beat can be grouped to the quavers on the second beat and the quavers on the third beat can be grouped to the quavers on the fourth. For example: With 4 crotchet beats, the bar is divided into strong, weak, strong, weak beats. There is no requirement for the number of notes in a bar to correspond to the number of beats in a bar only that the duration of all the notes and rests in the bar adds up in total to the number of beats. The groupings must clearly show the crotchet beats and the strong & weak parts of the bar.
