you don't really count to 19 as a musician, you'd make it

because adding 1/3 six times doesn't give the same as 1/4
added eight times.

1) it is
simply not the way counting time as a musician works.
if your measure said 3.5 / 2, you'd count 7 quarters.
In that case yes - but with longer bars, I'd try to find a reference
in between my notes. Let's take Paul's nice example. To play the 9
1/2 part, I'd really rather not count to 19, but to 9 - and then I'd
expect the next bar to start *in between* my 9 and 10; on the "and",
that is. 2) the first
time somebody uses 1/3 and 1/4 at the same time,
accumulating beat algorithms don't give the same result
reliably where they should.
Why not?
