RHY.Preface:4 - Solution - Connect the contributions through their results
The fourteen patterns form a repertoire. The Parts group related reading; work can begin in any Part. A useful path follows the result that the next operation needs, with returns when that result is unavailable.
RHY.1 localizes a rhythmic complaint. RHY.2 retains the actual changes and relations needed to understand it. RHY.3 constructs a combination of a continuing contribution and articulation; RHY.4 chooses timing events appropriate to the receiving task. Together they can turn “make it clearer” into a correction that a performer can try.
RHY.5 chooses a representation for an operation, and RHY.6 preserves its needed distinctions during translation. RHY.7 makes a comparison appropriate to a decision; RHY.8 constructs a proposed variant while retaining its required relations and feasibility conditions. A useful drawing or numerical comparison may be enough for that question. An assertion about actual performance or response needs its own observation.
RHY.9 allocates rhythmic actions and timing cues. RHY.10 establishes shared reference and correction, while RHY.11 coordinates simultaneous layers. These methods use available performing techniques. They can expose an unavailable constituent contribution, which is a different problem from aligning otherwise available layers.
RHY.12 develops a human rhythmic contribution through representative practice. RHY.13 tests the particular transfer, retention or support dependence needed for a decision; its task may concern a human, a technical performer or an equipped whole. RHY.14 obtains and compares the observations or responses on which the decision depends. Developing a controller calls for its engineering or training method.
| Available result | Next use when needed | Return when the result is insufficient |
|---|---|---|
| A localized difficulty and selected relation | Choose a correction, representation or variant through RHY.3–.8 | Return to the actual passage if the description hides a consequential change. |
| A represented or transformed rhythm | Arrange its actions and cues through RHY.9 | Obtain the missing duration, reference, technique or feasible action. |
| Available individual actions | Coordinate reference and layers through RHY.10/.11 | Reconsider the arrangement or develop the unavailable contribution. |
| A successful exercise | Restore the intended performance through RHY.12; use RHY.13 for the relevant changed condition | Preserve the narrower success while locating the difference that caused the failure. |
| A performance or reported response | Use RHY.14’s bounded result for the rehearsal, design or teaching decision | Correct a decisive observation condition or retain the named unknown. |
| A usable rhythmic way of working | Make it available through C.36.RP and, in music or dance, MDPE.17–.20 | Repair the particular receiving, continuation or forecasting condition. |
A short mantra can help retain a chosen path: identify the relation, preserve what the next use needs, supply the performing contributions, try the relevant whole, and return to the contribution that fails. It is a reminder of dependencies, not an obligation to apply every pattern.
