There is something called "Free Time" in music.  It  is no real time signature
...it's legit as a time sig tho.  Percy Grainger has used it.  All the notes
on the page are conducted.  sort of like sub-dividing th entire peice of music
for each individual note.  THe mark for free time is a circle w/ a dot in the
middle in the place where the time signature goes.....it's really interesting
to try to play it for the first time.....
                                     Minstrel.
PS Off hand I don''t know of anyone but Grainger that has used it, but I *KNOW*
others have.
