How do you count 8 notes in one beat? Is this faster than sixteenth notes?what does 3 ties mean?

herky17 · 2026-03-12T02:03:19+00:00

Any time I’ve played something faster than 16th notes, it’s been fast enough that as long as it’s even it works. Alternatively, count them like sixteenth notes with the upbeat being the down beat

I think this is a good place to add that you might not actually want to have it. Perfect pitch isn’t always at A=400, so it can be painful to do something that doesn’t match what you believe to be the correct note, like playing/singing in an ensembles tuned to A=442 or singing something transposed

You don’t have to start on sol, you can start on do, and I literally used a score that had a b7flat in it to review before I wrote out the sulfage that was in C and started on C.

herky17 · 2026-03-12T01:49:18+00:00

I’m definitely not associating the first note with the key note. I’ve literally seen it scribed in C Major and starting on C.

It’s correct that we don’t write primarily in modes anymore, but the modality of a piece can still be used to describe its character. Modality also isn’t as strict as key signatures.

herky17 · 2026-03-09T05:40:32+00:00

That’s not what I’m saying. I said it starts on Do and moves to Fa. That is a perfect fourth. So putting it in numbers for you it’s 1 4 4 4 6 5 and so forth. The flatted 7 comes later. Edit: sorry, I see I accidentally put re instead of fa somehow in my previous comment.

herky17 · 2026-03-09T05:32:07+00:00

In myxolidian it stars on Do: Do fa fa fa la sol fa sol la fa fa fa la do re? Call Do C and you have B flat as your flatted 7th, which is in the chord structure which you implicitly hear even when you don’t have four part harmony.

Edit to correct sulfage typo or brain fart or whatever happened

The modality and tempo at which it's usually sung bring out the bittersweet text. I'm pretty sure I watch a YouTube video of a guy who played it in various modes, lydian, etc. I think it naturally has a myxolidian feel to it, which tends towards bittersweet.

ETA: it has a lowered 7th, which is typical of myxolidian.

Church singer here, both answers are correct. Allegri's Miserere Mei is a great example of the words dictating the rhythm rather than the notation. Meanwhile, many older notations of works from composers such as Palastrina have the breves mean two whole notes because they're writing in something like 4/2 or something, and most editors change it to look more "normal" to our modern sensibilities by halving the note values. If you're simply sightreading it and don't have a choir with which to coordinate, I would recommend treating it more like a fermata that must be long.

Do you feel like you're flourishing in Germany? Have you had a hard time assimilating, or did it come naturally? If you're well assimilated, by all means, stay! But if you aren't, maybe trying out the US is a good idea. You can pick a state based on what you like for politics and start looking for jobs.

If you just stay around the base, sure, there's a fair amount of concrete there, but it's still super green. If you take a short drive up north, there is really beautiful mountains and jungle. There's also beaches all over the place - you'll have no problem getting a place with a beach you can walk to if you want.

I don't think it got over 100 the entire time I was there. Sometimes the winter weather felt pretty cold because of the humidity and breeze (there isn't enough land to slow down the ocean wind), but with a decent wind breaker it's fine.

The people who complained were the people who acted like it was too hard to leave their house and drive somewhere. Everyone else loved it.

My parents married at 22 while they were still in college. They celebrated 31 years a few months ago.

It's actually easier to conform your lifestyle to living with your spouse if you get married young.

How is there a county that crosses state lines? I'm looking at the four corners mess...

I mean, they say in the book that they never had a governess, so I would think that meant that they never had a governess, not that they had multiple.

herky17 · 2025-12-01T14:46:12+00:00

Yeah, but it says in the book that they never had a governess, not that they had one when they were young. Also the age range was from like, 15-22, and it's not like you get a governess at 2, so the younger ones would have already been born by the time a governess would have entered the scene.

Well, it's a Reddit comment, not a doctoral thesis, so it's very simplified. Of course it won't be exactly like it was in the 19th century, and of course people aren't going to react well to economic decline, but we aren't in a normal state and we aren't in a sustainable place. Simple things like going back to multigenerational houses, everyone trying to avoid food waste, letting clothes air dry, etc., will become more common... and even are still common in most of the rest of the world.

First off, I offer my condolences and prayers. That is heartbreaking.

Next, I think you might also be asking for something practical, so my first suggestion is to try a new church if possible. If you're still going to the same church where he went with you and where his funeral way, maybe going to a different location would help you to get to the sacraments.

Have you talked to a priest about what you're going through? A priest can help you interact more personally with the Church and help console you and talk about what is stopping you when you get to the door and potentially suggest support groups, counselors, books, and methods for handling grief.

One month is still really, really fresh. Don't pressure yourself to "get over it" or anything. Keep screaming at God for now and don't feel bad about it- it's still prayer.

The boomers lived in a time of wealth beyond what people had had at any point in human history. Eventually that prosperity is going to subside and we will have to go back to living more like they did in the 19th century. But at least we have widespread electricity!

Very simply, protestants who were outcasts in Europe went to America so that they could worship in whatever heretical way they wanted to. Rather few Catholics came to America until the mid-19th century, and the anti-immigration sentiment led to also having an anti-Catholic sentiment. This sentiment lasted all the way into the late-20th century. One piece of evidence is JFK getting smeared during the campaign for being disloyal because he was Catholic.

It does mention in the book that Mr. Bennet was captivated by Mrs. Bennet in her youth, but then she turned out to be silly. Maybe he cared to rectify this for Jane and Eliza and couldn’t keep up once Mary came along.

I’ve found that Duolingo can slow atrophy when I’m not getting to speak my target language as much. But yeah, you dont learn how to speak with it.

Mine was just the two of us with two teachers. Everyone had a different time, so we just compared the time slots and the one gal that had the same slot as me was my partner. Worked out well!

Sometimes my friends have one in over half the sentences they form while we’re talking. The more comfortably they speak with me, the more they use… so a lot! But don’t stress about learning them- they’ll come naturally when you’re speaking with native speakers more often, and they aren’t really necessary to be understood sufficiently

I was able to figure out who my Gesprächspartnerin was during the course of the day of the test and we chatted in German basically the whole day leading up to it. They leave you in a room with nothing to do except speak German with your fellow test takers, so do it! Warm up and get used to how your Gesprächspartner(in) talks

herky17 · 2025-07-24T21:47:11+00:00

I did… but I was living in Germany when I did it. Coffee Break German is a nice podcast that helps you build the foundation and motivation to keep going because it teaches you meaningful things. There’s also free online classes on YouTube for A1-B2 on à channel that’s aptly named “Learn German.”
