That one will be tedious for you, Notes, but at least it’s a combination of measure lengths that BIAB supports. <...snip...>
It will be quite a challenge.

I, too, love the song. When it goes into the 4/4/ swing with Paul Desmond on the alto sax, the relief from the tension is almost orgasmic.

Many of the great pleasures in life come from tension and relief. You are hungry (tension) and get a great meal (relief). Same for thirst and drink, tonic key and release, mystery and solving it, desire and fulfillment (it's a family forum), etc., etc.

Personal aside: I was just a kid in a rock band, and we played before the Dave Brubeck Quartet in a telethon. Paul Desmond, told me he liked how I played and told me to keep at it. That was very kind of him. I wasn't very good at the time, but I guess my passion showed.

I suspect I'll be working at Blue Rondo for a while, that in itself will increase tension, and if I get it fairly right in BiaB, it will be a great relief.
