The Mission Impossible theme, you know, the “Dun! Dun! DADA! Dun! Dun! Duhduh!” one, written in 5/4 time? That’s supposed to spell MI for Mission: Impossible, in Morse code. --.. dash dash dot dot, MI. The first two notes are dotted quarter notes, 1.5 beats each for a total of 3 beats, then two quarter notes for each dot, total of 2 beats, grand total of 5 beats per measure. 5/4 time.
Hey! Same for Rush’s YYZ. The morse code for Y-Y-Z (the airport code for the Toronto airport where the band no doubt spent a lot of time) is --.- --.- --.. which is a rhythmic motif that appears a bunch in the song in some ungodly meter I don’t care to look up right now.
So, I don’t know if it did it on your end, the reason why I put my morse code in a code block is it expanded the two dots into three. Don’t know if it does it on all UIs but on my end it made your Z into dash dash dot dot dot.

He says, as if it matters.
It does matter! And I noticed shortly after I posted it, was mildly annoyed, and didn’t bother to fix it.
Edit: until now
Practical use? None I can think of. But I love learning this. Thank you.
Ok that’s pretty genius.
It may not have that much of ause, but that’s exactly why we consider Music to be Art.
