Ok, i admit to knowing nothing about music, having never studied it... but i do know what 3/4 sounds like and 4/4.....Let me think of an example....how about "carcerus ex novum" by Xepher on Black Dog's bytes album...he (who?) is using a 4/4 breakbeat with a 3/4 tune.... and it does indeed "wrap around" (crap phrase huh?)...i think what i mean by wrap around is that beat number 1 of a 4/4 bar lines up with beat number 1 of a 3/4 bar...and it *does* in the end...after 3 bars of music i guess...i'd have to hear the tune again to be sure... look, *I* know what i mean ok??? :) -- Ben Coffer Hybrid Productions http://www.hybridgame.demon.co.uk/
