I couldn't resist the urge and just HAD to look it up. Compound time (to quote Wikipedia, which gave the fullest definition... once again) "gets its name by combining two or more simple meter measures to form a compound measure"... and that "Today when we refer to compound meters, we refer only to the 'compounding' of two (or more) simple triple measures." So its only 6/8, 9/8, 12/8 and other multiples of 3/8 which fit the description now.

So yes, you're completely right about n = 2 or 4, and would have been right with a load of other numbers too... 5/8 isn't a compound time now either.

I was always told compound meant quaver-beat based. Its a sad day when you realise that your music teachers were lying the whole time.

I'm such a geek sometimes, but I think you beat me in that category. There's nothing sexier than music geeks.

Damn right. Music geeks are sexy and we are also downright sneaky. When we write songs in my band the bassist sometimes says something along the lines of "I like the way that you hit a higher note and then move down a bit. It grabs my attention and makes the tune really catchy...". Little does he know that I'm beginning the melody on the 4th, to create a tension which is then resolved when I move to the 3rd, mwahahaha! The fool!

Rofl, even drummers are probably becoming more knowledgeable in music theory than bassists nowadays.

And to cheeseman: your wit never ceases to amaze me.

I'm sure it would take very little to amaze you.

Sorry, I didn't help with that, but I've tried being nice to the guy, but his sheer arrogance clouds his thoughts all to often.....So the gloves are off.

Don quit trying to take the piss. You spoil your own posts.

Don haters, you can always ignore his remarks and stay on topic.

Put the gloves back on cheeseman...that's my job.

If any of you have a problem with another member PM a mod.

I merely retaliated to his post, did you not read it and see that he immaturely changed my quote? Cheeseman has been non-stop insulting me, if you're annoyed by me please ban the instigator.
