So to me, this is a kind of natural "genius" in that some clients are just naturally writing sophisticated music without a ton af theory behind what they are doing, and I feel that my job is to support that vision rather than try and "box it" into 4 and 8 bar patterns of 3/4 or 4/4.

I appreciate your in-depth look at this and know you are coming from a good place. smile

You went with that, waved your magic wand and gave me back more than I could have hoped for. I'm grateful you didn't try to box it into something more conventional. I love it the way it is.
