This thread wasn't about notation. It was about someone looking for strumming guitars with a 6/8 feel to make backing tracks. And I posted 91 links in this thread for Realtracks guitars with w 6/8 or 12/8 feel. Many of which are Celtic 6/8.

There is no notation for 6/8 and 12/8. They are notated in 4/4. This doesn't stop you or anyone from making and playing great backing tracks. It does stop you making lead sheets with notation that displays in 6/8 or 12/8. It definitely doesn't stop you dragging audio files your DAW because WAV files don't have a tempo or time signature In them (unless you acidize them)

As stated above, we plan on a toggle switch to change notation display from 4/4 to 12/8. This won't change how the music is played, or the tempo. Just change how it is notated and printed.

))) these time signatures can be forced into 4/4 if you have a warped sense of time!!!

Well you make call me "warped" for thinking of 12/8 as 4//4 with triplets, but as John Lennon said in Imagine "I'm not the only one". If you want to see and hear an explanation, check this out, https://youtu.be/0JeIiNf6Zb8
