Hmm... looks promising. One question, how deep down the rabbit hole are we going here? Like are we hitting the Skrillex depot before plunging through the main Dream Theater shaft to base jump into the caverns of Meshuggah, or will we just get a mild dose of Coldplay?

All Chopin, all the time.

The other time signature is going to be cut time, isn't it? Unless it's something completely bizarre like 5/8, but that's not exactly common.

In my experience playing and conducting, waltzes generally "feel" like ONE two three, ONE two three. Even in the underwater theme you played that's what my bones feel. (Though the backing is evenly stressed, when it works with the melody, I think it clearly stresses 1 on each measure). I also slightly disagree about 4/4. You're right about ONE two THREE four, but I think the third beat is generally less emphasized than the first. It's more like ONE two THREE four. When one and three are equal, you're usually secretly in 2/4 (e.g. for a lot of songs you'd file under "marches"). In general, the downbeat is usually the strongest IME.
