Oh, dear, D . . . if you have been into music for 24 years and are still confused about time signitures, crochets (whimsies?), minims, and quavers, then I'm really in trouble!! I haven't touched my clarinet since the early 1960's and am now having to relearn it all over again as I don't remember ANYTHING about playing the clarinet OR reading music.

I think some of my confusion in this instance relates to differences in musical terminology between that used in the UK and in the US. Although I have seen the terms crochet, minim, and quaver (the latter sometimes with semi-, demi-, & hemi- or combinations of those prefixes added to it) in some British music book that I looked through a few years ago, I'm not clear what words we use on this side of the pond for those things and/or concepts.

I hope someone can clarify that for me.
