Mo 'n Herb's vacation, part I, 2:18 till 2:25 (bars 1-3 by approximation). Transcription: KS (2nd printed edition 2001).
Note: The official source for orchestra scores is www.zappa.com. It's difficult to obtain copies of these scores
as a private person, so in this study also a couple of examples are included, transcribed from record.
Mo 'n Herb's vacation, part III, 1:41 till 1:48. Transcription: KS (1st printed edition 2000).
For the L.S.O. scores a drumset was added to the traditional orchestra percussion. Here the hi-hat and snare drum are accentuating the 5/8 meter.
Sample from the clarinet part, posted on the net by Filip Fjellström, that I came across in 2023. This example shows that my 5/8 bars are notated as quintuplets
in a 4/4 environment in the original score.
