But if what you ask pertains to jazz interpretation, then stick with Mac's example.


Augmenting what Kevin said in 6/8 time beat #1 is the loudest, beat #4 is accented but not as loud as beat #1 and the others are not as loud as beat #4.

If beats # 1 and #4 are the same volume that the time signature could be either 3/4 or 6/8, at least that is what I have been taught.
