[JWplugins] Different types of composite time sigs

[Steve Vai]

Ah, I get it. 
You're looking for a name. 
Well, because there are multiple numerators and denominators in one measure, and terminology such as "common, composite etc" can be confusing because they point to other types of meters, I would consider calling this kind of situation "Hybrid Meter". Conceptually that term is in line with what "Hybrid Chord" terminology points to.

I will keep my eye out for that donation button.

In the plug-in, the choice is up to the user - I was unclear about that in my question. I have attached a example picture that shows what the plug-in task does.

The thing I'm working on is a new task for "JW Meter and Rhythm" that merges multiple measures into one. (In the pictured example, a region of 3 measures are merged.) Regarding the resulting time signatures of the new measure, the user have 3 options:
* Common
* Composite (grouped)
* Composite (ungrouped)

My question was related to the names of the 3 options above, so they become intuitive to use.

For users on the digest list, the picture can also be found at:

I get regular questions about this. My plug-ins that are available for download are absolute free to use. At the moment, I unfortunately don't have a "Donate" button on the web pages - I'll see if I can add that in the future.


Best regards,
