Eek! 7/8!

[tdq]

So I decided to enter a song when I found out about the new player - nice! I did it on the web editor, succesfully transferred it across, only to find that the player doesn't play in 7/8! ....it seems I need to buy a pack. So will the Jazz Styles pack - the only one currently available - play back a 7/8 before I go and purchase it?

>can the jazz style-pack play 7/8?

Several styles will play 7/8. Yes.

Not some "swing" styles...

I just tested Even 8th's and Boss.

Latin should work also.
If you need swing you could change to 7/4... and of course if you have other time sigs. in the song, you would need to change them also, but this will not work if you have mix 7/8 with something like 4/4 and need swing!
We might consider developing something that can cope with this in the future but not at the moment.
Also the count-in and tempo changes if you change from 7/8 to 7/4 (of course.)

Thanks for the feedback - I'm playing alot of Klezmer at the moment with some people and actually am just using it for reference - there's so many songs! Really all I want at the moment is just straight 7/8, no swing needed. Some 9/8's too. Perhaps you should have a "straight" play option somewhere.
Thanks.
