Can someone with an education in music explain to me why we force 7/4 onto this rather than just saying it’s 3.5/4? I can count the rhythm in seven if I accept that half of the time the beat is on the up, but it makes more sense to count it as “one, two, three and, one two three and…”
EDIT: OK, listening a few more times, I might have identified my error. If I count the claps as “one, two, three, and…” then there’s a longer than normal pause before the next “one”. But, if I count the claps as “ONE two THREE four FIVE SIX seven…” then the pattern seems to repeat without a pause. Is this the correct approach?
