is it common to have the sax playing in a different time signature from the accompanying piano?
I am scanning Saxo-Rhapsody by Eric Coates into Sibelius to create the piano backing to play along with, when I came across this (see image)
From the previous bar, both parts were in 12/8, but the sax has moved into 4/4, with (apparently) the piano staying in 12/8.
I know you would normally count 12/8 in 4, so the 2 pieces will play together, but doesn't the sax move after the piano on that very last semi-quaver in the bar?
I am just trying to work out if this is what was intended, and indeed how to play it.
