RHY.Preface:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them
| Consequential mistake | Practical correction |
| Tighten timing because the contact is measurable, although the partner needs a different cue. | Compare the receiving timing events through RHY.4 before choosing a correction. |
| Treat an onset-only string as a complete instruction for sustain and rest. | Restore the needed information through RHY.5/.6; evaluate the performer only against an adequately specified task. |
| Count success in a simplified exercise as success in the original figure. | Restore the constituent contribution to the whole through RHY.12 and select the changed-condition question in RHY.13. |
| Discard unmatched events and report a good average as a complete performance. | RHY.14 retains omissions, additions and ambiguous matches separately from timing error. |
| Treat a frequent or geometrically central rhythm as a future cultural attractor. | Compare the mechanisms and receiving decisions through MDPE.20, using the needed RHY results. |
