There is a thread in Uke Talk on conventions: http://forum.ukuleleunderground.com/showthread.php?102057-I-just-can-t-take-it-any-more!/page9 , where the 1/8 notes are mentioned. Basically The convention is 1/8n + 1/8n = 1/8n + (1/8n + 1/8). I have run into it occasionally but do not pretend to understand it. I probably even employ this convention when I playing, without realizing it consciously.
I know about pick-up notes: i.e. The first and last measure of a tune have to add up to the number of beats in the time signature. Thats why you check the last note in the tune to verify the Key.
I know about fermatas: i.e. a note followed by a birdseye is really half again as long. 1/8* = 1/8 + 1/16.
I have a handle on syncopation and the DU DDU DU strumming conventions.
I do not understand: 1/8n + 1/8n = 1/8n + (1/8n + 1/8). HELP!
