3/4
A book of music notation not for rote learning, but for exploring and comparing how composers have used the 3/4 time signature (3 beats per measure). The book contains snippets of notation from each song, a few measures at a time, on transparent sheets. These sheets can be overlayed to compare the notes and rhythms. Different types of notation are used, including conventional notation, guitar tabs, and waveform.
