We have 1,400 Ev16 (cut-time) styles

For example, SOCA1.sty is a Ev16 cut-time Soca style (MIDI) Tempo=100

>> Here is an example of a soca tune wirtten in cut time. Please pay close attention to how the melody plays and notice when the notes come in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF4enbTqPPU

So I am playing close attention, and please educate me on what about these styles is not meeting your defintion of cut-time. The sound I'm hearing from these styles is very similar to youtube demo



It's not about the style, it's about the feel, and the tempo. I may not always want have fast 4/4 to make it fell like a 2/2 groove, I may want to habe half note equal 85BPM or 100BPM.
