I am working on a pop arrangement. It starts out in a simple 4/4 quarter note equals 90 and then a tempo change doubles it. Now it's eight notes = 90 and quarter = 180.

  • Do I change the time signature to 4/8?
  • When I conduct if I lose my tempo while going slow then doubling is that just practice work or can changing the meter help me?

    Why not just score it in half time, rather than doubling the tempo? Problem solved, song is still at 90bpm, everybody's playing 16ths instead of 8ths.

Not 4/8 for a pop song.

DOES it go into a fast 4 or a moderate 2? If the former, write 4/4 quarter=180. If the latter, write cut time half=90.
