03 / Counting conventions

Lines. Dots.
An open rhythm.

These conventions apply to counting marks, not to every form in the archive.

Groups of vertical lines, separated by a single dot. From the simplest form, a rhythm can extend without end.

One dot between groups

No two dots touch. Lines never stand alone without a dot.

A dot may begin the sequence, or the first group of lines may lead.

An arc may appear above or below the marks, or be absent altogether.
