Quote: It's in 6/8 with every second bar accenting as if in 3/4. Think of America in Westside Story. I haven't seen the original score but that seems to be the only time signature that fits.

Seems is the operative word - sorry, it's not in 6/8 - as a drummer (former) I'm particularly cognizant of odd signatures and this theme just does not fit well or easily into any known signature. I have been trying for years now to get a DEFINITIVE answer to this question with no luck. Even posted on a popular drummer's site with no good answer. Anyone know how to ask the composer?
What is complicated about it? See above :blink:
Actually this thread should now be moved to the Music forum which I guess didn't exist 5-1/2 years ago :eek: when this was first asked! Hey administrator!
Seems ridiculous in this age of the computer and the internet you can't get a definitive answer to a simple question.
