ughghghghghgh can we please invent a single note value that fills a 9/8 measure because these dotted halves tied to dotted quarters look really stupid

alternatively we could teach string players to swing but I think it might be easier to invent an all-new base-3 notation system

600 years of western notation and we couldn& #39;t figure out something that looks better than this

Everyone in this thread who thinks we should just use whole notes for every time signature: I can think of so so so many ways that this will trip up performers and sabotage rehearsals, especially if used in parts, sorry but you& #39;re all wrong
