My understanding is in “normal” music notation, 4/4the quarter notes get the strong beat and the eight notes get the up and down beat (one and)
So for Bluegrass, it is played in “cut time, 2/4”; therefore, the eighth notes are counted as two down strokes (the strong beats) from what you are saying, and the sixteenth notes get the up and down beat.
2nd question: If possible can music notation be shown?
Music notation would help me with practicing the intervals and hearing them. And it shows the beats.
I leave this to your guidance.
Thanks for the lessons
Thank you Chris

Is that correct?
Pamela,
1) That's exactly correct.
2) I too would love to have regular notation included. I will look into that with Mike.
Thanks!

Thanks Mike,

If I am working in a loop (any where in the song) how do I save it?
Thank you Chris,
Pamela
Hi Pamela --- good question. We don't support saving loops --- but may in the future.
How would you like it to work?
