Andy,
As Sean has also mentioned, I usually use the 7,8 accentuation for accompanying cante, it seems to drive it better, unless the structure of the cante letra is asking for 'standard' 6 accent. Some of the time the choice to go with either comes from the cantoar who gives 'that look' or says 'something' doesn't feel right [:@] But most of the time you can tell from the cantoar's facial and body reactions if you're hitting the right marks. And then sometimes accompanying cante can be like probing your way around room blindfolded[:(]
I'll usually drive the 6, 8, 10 accent on intros and chording compas, as well as on llamadas and desplantes, but again if the footwork pattern asks for it. Sometimes it doesn't. Takes a lot of close listening and observation.
Wish I could have been there again with you guys, I really did have a fun time working out the palos last time.
