Talk:Metric modulation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I understand the concept (I've seen it in Carter scores - it's true, he does it a lot), but I don't understand the "formula". I'm not very sure what it's meant to show, and it's not clear to me what the right hand side of it means - I can't get my head around "number of pivot note values". I may just be being thick, but I doubt I'm the only one. Any chance of a little further explanation? --Camembert

- Yes, I think I see what it's getting at now. Thanks. It does look like a rather complex way of explaining something pretty simple, but if it's in the book, well, who am I to argue? :) One thing: shouldn't the right hand side be "number of pivot notes in new tempo/number of pivot notes in old tempo" rather than "old measure/old tempo"? --Camembert
