Need help with writing something in Rhapsody In Blue

2007-03-14 05:24 pm

In the song Rhapsody In Blue piano solo it starts out with a septendicet(I don't know if thats actually what its called but it like triplet except its 17). It also has a decuplet(10) as well in the first page. How can I write this in NWC.
I don't think I explained this very well, so I am giving the first page of the solo.

In the first measure there is a 17 almost like a triplet, and in the last measure of the page there is a 10, so how do I write this?

Thanks for that. But what I tried was adding a triplet.

I attached 2 pages of the Rhapsody In Blue in NWC format if anyones interested.

And here is the way I did the opening sequence. Shamefully I have been sequencing this for over a couple of years - must complete it sometime.

Only when I've finished it. There's no way I would release it in it's current state. As I said - It's a 2 year old file. It has migrated through several versions of NWC . Even though it's not finished, it needs a major revision to update it to some of the newer NWC 2 techniques.

Since Gershwin is still in copyright, it will not be posted on an open forum.

If and when I get to finish it - it might get as far as the newsgroup for personal use- but no further.
