Psst - tinners is heading for 1000... ... which makes Aaron a demisemitinner and Evan a hemidemisemitinner! And your good self a dotted tinner. With a bit of rubato in each case, of course.  You know, I must say I'm a mite disappointed that y'all don't have a special word for "dotted." "Specked," or something. Or stick with the prefix - sesquialteraquaver? |

I find Finnish rather colourful. 'Dotted crotchet' is "Pisteelinen neljäsosanuotti". Do they take longer to rehearse in Finland?

The results from all those recordings by Finish orchestras suggests they might, Rausch! Perhaps on the other hand, it's why so many conductors nowadays hail from there: they just can't wait to get away soon enough so that they can spend less time achieving the same results. |

I wonder if we should propose a new system to get rid of the transatlantic (or from where I grew up transpacific (?!)) problem? I do very much like the French system, which is just a description of the note shapes. So instead of talking about semiquavers and sixteenth-notes we could talk about triple hooks and double hooks and rounds and whites and bl... Bugler, that's not going to work is it?  |

Maybe they couldn't think of any more prefixes!
'Prefices' in the UK, I think, tinners. As in Index, Indices....Kleenex, Kleenices.....Fax, Faeces.. etc |

I prefer Quavers to Wotsits. Of course, they are both made by Walker's.

I have to admit that, having lived in the Netherlands and Germany for such a long time, I've pretty much forgotten the British system and when speaking English I automatically switch to the American. Now that I'm back in the UK I suppose things might change, but then again they might not.
A more pressing problem as far as I'm concerned is the notation of a sequence of duration values which are all (subtly) different without resorting to unnecessarily complicated things like strings of "incomplete tuplets" or unnecessarily simplistic things like unattached noteheads.
What comes before "quasi"? "Pseudo"?

Well, I fear in that you're a mite screwed. What comes before "quasi"? "Pseudo"?
