Converting into another concept may need context this value does not carry (a root, an octave, a key). Where it is missing the library assumes a default and says so; where a step drops information it is listed.

- Assumed meter 4/4. No meter was given, so 4/4 is used: one cycle is one 4/4 bar.

Live coding

Use in Symbolic Cycle

drums("kick").rhythm("xxx_xx_x_xx_")

A rhythm has no pitches, so it shapes a part through .rhythm() instead of sym().
