in Squelching the editor on odd time signatures
All of life is derivative. We are the sum of what we know, yet we are each blessed with out own unique take on things.
Karoli, I think your Editor is simply akin to the proverbial 'cranky old librarian', who shushes people as they make exciting discoveries in the course of their learning.
Go ahead, copy the masters. How do you think *they* learned?
Because YOU are different, I guarantee your work product will be different, in some small way. Or perhaps a big way. Who knows?
Our end seldom comes at a convenient time. I think it would be a hell of a dismal thing to lie on one's deathbed enumerating the different ways of saying "Gee, I wish I would have tried that...".
Yea, we're all going to have a few regrets when we pass, but there's no need to add to the pile while we still have our choices.
Take care,
John

Thanks, John. I agree with you -- it would be really too bad to be facing one's last day on Earth and taking an account of all the risks one didn't take. Still, I've got to say, facing down that voice and keeping it quiet is one of the biggest challenges I've had.
