Hi, lavajunkie:

Look at the attachments here.

I looked at your "The Whole Song" and, based on the glock part that starts off the piece, it seems to me that you've got a repeating set of irregular metred bars in it.

Nothing wrong with that -- it adds spice.

I went through and changed some bar lines to line up with what I see happening in your ostinato part. See The Whole Song re-barred.not, attached.

Then I think I found where you feel the timing is going off.

At bar 17, you end bar 16 on the low note (E5) of the pattern, but begin bar 17 with the same note, essentially re-setting the pattern to begin with the low note. Then the following parts all follow that example and begin with the low note.

After the first 17 bars set the pattern of alternating high then low notes, the ear hears an off-beat when the pattern changes to alternate low to high.

See the attached jpeg "The Whole Song re-barred -- look at glock in bar 17".

Is that what you were hearing?
