I wrote a song last night (mostly in 10/4), and I can't quite seem to count the chorus. It goes 4 quarter notes, an eighth note, 4 quarter notes, a sixteenth note, 4 quarter notes, an eighth note, 4 quarter notes, a sixteenth note, and four quarter notes, a sixteenth note. Anyone know what this time sig is?

What you described could be 2/4, 5/8, 2/4, 9/16, and so on...

Without hearing it and judging by Stickk talking about it as 4 quarters and an eighth, I would assume that we are talking about duple time.
Depending on how your smaller subdivisions are phrased with the 4 quarter notes, you could literally write it as 4/4, 1/8, 4/4, 1/16, and so on. |
