Mac,

My earlier attempt converting a waltz to 4/4 was just some unknown Cajun tune. I just converted That's Amore
and the process makes more sense to me.

The 2 notes that start off the melody...When the...are placed on the 3rd and 4th beat of the first measure, and then BB just puts the rest of the melody, all quarter notes, on every quarter beat of the 4/4 measures.

Not very musical, of course, but it does work.

Your last post made me think about this. Thanks.

Percy
