En réponse à Ray Brown :
>Stressed vowel doesn't work for French verse either.
Indeed. French verse is purely syllable-based. It makes it very difficult
for me to appreciate stressed-based verse. It usually "does't fit" in my
ears (I can't hear the intended rhythm). Mora-based verse is easier to
appreciate, which is probably why I like Japanese singing so much :)) .

Actually, since the rules of SolReSol oblige you to pause after each word,
I'm not sure it is that well-suited to poetry. It doesn't sound *that* nice
actually :)) .

Not as far as I know...

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
