Rhythm Graphics

Draw the separate levels for each song of the following list -
          There is a MIDI link on each title.
     1. Establish theFootsiesfirst, starting with the smallest level,
          that of the smallest note-value.
     2. On graph paper, using 1 square for each of these smallest note-values,
          draw each Beat (Right foot, lower) and each Off-beat (Left foot, 1 square higher),
               following the feet carefully for the value of that specific level.
          Tie in the Off-beats to the Beats with vertical lines where there are no breaths in the melody,
               inPick-up or Rebound association, possibly both for longer associations.
          For all longer note-values (with several foot movements).
               remain at the same elevation (height) for the required number of squares.
     3. Proceed to the following larger level,
          twice as slowly for the feet
               (don't forget the Pick-up if the previous level started on theLeft foot),
          with the lines of each Beat and Off-beat (as well as the vertical lines) twice as long.
     4. At larger levels, disregard the notes of smaller levels
          which fall "between the feet".
     5. Once you reachLevel 0(which you should easily recognize),
          there is not much point in continuing with larger levels
               because they all have the same shape.
     6. The last drop (vertical line) of each level should be perfectly aligned with the others.
     7. Referring to theseparate levelsofRed River Valleymight be useful.

     8. Hints are furnished for some specific songs,
          others are not necessarily complete.

The integrated levels are a little more difficult to draw.
