That all seems great! You might consider adding to the following the explanation about the reversal of the numbers from the way we normally think, e.g. 16*5 instead of 5*16 (or 5/16).Paul, I have now changed this part. What do you think?
(insert graphic here)There is no rhythmic value equivalent to that anacrusis, so we used a formula:\partial x * ywhere "x" stands for a rhythmic value - like "16" for a sixteenth note or "semiquaver" and "y" stands for the quantity of those, like "5" . The sign in between is an asterisk. Thus\partial 16*5will give you the preceding example's result. Change the values of this formula to suit your needs. Remember that it doesn't matter how the rhythmic value of the anacrusis is distributed among several notes:\partial 2is good for a half note, or two quarter notes, or two eighth notes and a quarter note, or any other combination of rhythmic values adding up to a half note.
Thanks for all your work on this! Paul
