But wait!
This is all good on why 4/4 and 3/4 are "natural" (or whatever the oringal term was) for WESTERN music.
(Hmm, oringal, that's a good one. I'll leave that. Sounds like a place. I just got back from Oringal and boy is it nice there this time of year!)
Of course I meant ORIGINAL!
But my point was that traditional Indian music (India-Indian, not Native American again) often used(uses?) 5/4 or 10/8 (depending on how you count it) in addition to the quartertones. My guess is because of the 5 fingers (per hand) thing.
Not that it really adds much to what has already been said. I'm going back to Oringal now.
