RHY.6:4.1 - Recover the source’s rhythmic interpretation

Identify the actual convention, its beat or cycle reference, the relation of phrases to that reference, and any articulation or realization distinctions consumed by the receiving task.

Use RHY.2 and RHY.5 results when they already supply this information. If the source is a recording, distinguish observed features from the chosen transcription. If it is a prototype, retain the performer choices it leaves open. Ask a prepared source practitioner when a sign’s meaning depends on a phrase or tradition you cannot recover.

Select a bounded family for the proposed translation. A rule for a four-part equal subdivision does not automatically cover unequal divisions, tempo changes or free timing.
