6. Happy Birthday
Click onGRAPHICSto see the text of the melody and, below it,
     the drawing of the separate levels and the drawing of the integrated levels.

In the drawing of the separate levels, we see that -

At the smallest level,Level -3(a binary level),
          (where thehas been arbitrarily chosen for the shortest notes),
     we start on the Beat and, of course, end on the Beat.
          The longer notes are drawn on the Beat all the way through.
               Note that there are few notes at this level.

At the next larger level,Level -2-1(a ternary level),
          (, twice as long),
     we start on the Touch and, of course, end on the Beat.
          The longer notes are drawn on the Beat all the way through.

At the next larger level,Level 0(a binary level),
          (., three times as long),
     we start on the Off-Beat and, of 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 the shape of the cells.

Level +1is not shown.

The bar-lines are placed atLevel -1(in 3/4 time).

In the drawing of the integrated levels, we see that -
     the three levels have been put together.
