Yes, I also agree. We all say 1-2- 1234, but I was only trying to highlight what beat the word '2' fell on.

Separately, my band once backed a vocalist who brought along an original chart we had never seen before. She counted in "1-2-" "12" and then unexpectedly doubled the tempo of "1234". The 1234 was 4 times faster than the 1-2-

Instead of the anticipated 110BPM, the song blasted away at 220 BPM

The only person who knew the song tempo was the vocalist. We scrambled and got it right, but it was a shock I'll never forget (and a vocalist I never worked with again).
