Rhythm & Rhythmic Displacement

When applying a step-skip pattern and approach-escape tones to the structure you will also use a  rhythmic pattern.

A  rhythmic pattern  is just a simple rhythmic figure that will repeat over an over until the pattern finishes.

Note that the rhythmic pattern  does not have to match the amount of notes in the pattern  . This allows the creation of interesting  hemiolas  .

Enable the  Triple Meter  check box if you want to  subdivide the beat in three  (when you want to create triplet patterns, and such)

In Tessitura you may also add a  rhythmic displacement . Instead of starting the pattern right on the first beat, you may start it before as a pickup line or delay it by adding a rest before you start.

This is called  rhythmic displacement  where the rhythm you are playing is displaced against the beat, creating interesting tension and release pattern over time.

i.e. start the pattern one eighth note before the first beat by setting the  Rhythmic Displacement slider an eighth note to the left.

Choose the  Time Signature  you want to use in the  Preferences panel . The Metronome will play clicks based on the time signature
