[Menvi-discuss] Sixteenth notes groupings rule

[Ella Yu]

Hello, this is indeed a little confusing. If the four sixteenth notes is
immediately followed by an eighth note or rest, the four sixteenth notes
must be written as actual sixteenth notes. This clearly differentiates
sixteenth notes from eighth notes. If the four sixteenth notes is
immediately followed by a note value other than an eighth (e.g quarter,
half), then the sixteenths can be grouped into fours with the first written
as an actual sixteenth and the three remaining written like eighth notes.
Similar sorts of groupings are used for groups of six sixteenth notes in
6/8 or 3/8 time kinda thing.
