RHY.5:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them
| Recurring failure | Repair |
| Treat every spoken syllable as a note-value label. | Recover its position, sound-class or phrase role under the chosen convention. |
| Infer an accent from every cycle-marking gesture. | Separate reference marking from the performance’s accent instruction. |
| Treat an onset-only syllable string as a complete duration and rest instruction. | Retain the needed beat reference, continuation and silence information in that form or an available companion. |
| Use an unmarked cyclic shape to prescribe entry phase. | Supply the origin and direction required by the entry. |
| Present a mnemonic without the performance knowledge it presupposes. | Supply the demonstration or instruction, or narrow the intended reader. |
