Re: Single Straight Eighths?

[S L Raymond]

My current solution, which only works in a 3/4 jazz waltz, is to place a 
4:3 bracket above either half or all the measure, whichever is 
appropriate. 

So for example, if the phrase is 888 8~88  (the ~ is a tie) and the last 
two eights are to be played straight, I place a |----4:3-----| over the 
second half of the measure.
