Thanks Chris - any advice on how to get the picture showing properly? Is there a size limit?

The song is E Toru Nga Mea, not thinking it will be public domain :)

Where I'm stuck is counting when the beat starts on the 16th.

I'll try and describe it!

2 beat rest (so 1, 2), 1 beat (quaver, so 3), so that's the first 3 beats of the 6 easy enough. Then it goes semiquaver (half - 4 I guess), dotted quaver (1 and a half - so and 5?), quaver (6). Its counting the second half I cant get to feel right, though I know the beat of the song ok.

The next measure is sort of the same. Semiquaver (1?) followed by dotted quaver (and 2?), quaver (3), dotted crotchet (4, 5, 6).

Appreciate your help.
