This example demonstrates the effect of
one rule which lengthens the stressed notes in sequences of notes having the same note value. The rule reflects
a convention used in Baroque music as well as in jazz.
You can vary the duration relations between the stressed and unstressed notes.
Example: C. Parker: Yardbird Suite.

k = 0 |

k = 1.0 |

k = 2.0 |
The graphs show how much the durations of the tones are changed in % of their nominal duration. The Swing ratio is the duration ratio of two consecutive eighth notes.
No-Inégales, k = 0 (Swing ratio = 1) |
|
---|---|
|
Medium, k = 1.0 (Swing ratio = 1.56) |
|
---|---|
|
Exaggerated, k = 2.0 (Swing ratio = 2.57) |
