Drawing of the separate levels

At the smallest level, Level -2
          (arbitrarily, the 1/4 note for the shortest notes),
     we start on the Beat and, of course, end on the Beat.
          The four longer 1/2 notes and the last 1/1 "whole" note are drawn on the Beat all the way through.
At the next larger level, Level -1
          (1/2 note, twice as long),
     we start on the Beat and, of course, end on the Beat.
          The longer 1/1 note at the end is drawn on the Beat all the way through.
At the next larger level, Level 0
          (1/1 note, twice as long),
     we start on the Off-Beat and, or course, end on the Beat.
          The longest note of the melody is not longer than the beats of this level,
               which confirms the fact that we are atLevel 0.
     Notice the regularity of thecells.
At the next larger level, Level +1
          (2/1 note, twice as long),
     we know that all large levels start on the Off-beat.
          The 4-note pick-up will not appear in these graphics of individual levels.
               Still the same cells.
At the next larger level, Level +2,
          (4/1 note, twice as long),
     once again we start on the Off-beat, without the pick-up.
          Still the same cells.
The bar-linesare placed atLevel -1(in 4/4 time).
     However, for the sake of clarity, only the bar-lines ofLevel 0are solid,
          the others, forLevel -1, are dashed.
Notice that, atLevel 0,
     there is half a bar before the first bar-line and half a bar at the end.
