Music | | Dutch term or phrase: gepunt ritme | Text describing various African musical instruments.
De ansereba-trommel speelt een antimetrische figuur van kwartolen, afwisselend met een *gepunt ritme*. Dit opspring-ritme zorgt voor een innerlijke drijfveer in de begeleiding.
Is this ‘dotted rhythm’? |

| | dotted rhythm/s | Explanation:
This is the right term. :-)
P.S.
Not all dotted rhythmic patterns are syncopated and vice versa. And 'pointed' rhythms are never used in music theory to refer to the same concept.

Saitch, dotted rhythms don't just 'refer to written music'. I'm sure Writeaway, as well as other musicians, can recognize a dotted-8th-note-and-16th-note combination when they hear it. Besides, if you think dotted figures are only used in music notation, what about 'kwartolen'? Not only is 'dotted' the accurate translation, it also fits the context perfectly. |
