 | | Syncopation is such an integral element of jazz and ragtime, for example, that for those styles the regular flow of rhythm is in fact a syncopated flow. | | | Syncopation is a disturbance or interruption of the regular flow of rhythm. | | | Syncopation shifts this emphasis, or, to put it another way, it places the ac |

| | Syncopation in dance and music |
| | We have to practice syncopations a lot before they feel natural and that means we may need to just do the syncopations when we can and not worry about dancing to the music (did I say that?) Anyway, the goal is eventually to make our dance syncopations fit with the music whenever possible. | | | Other teachers and dancers use the term "syncopation" to refer to fancy footwork or a deviation from some basic pattern of steps that they have learned. |

He gives examples of: | | | Anticipated bass is a bass tone that comes syncopated shortly before the downbeat, which is used in Son montuno Cuban dance music. | | | Richard Middleton (1990, p.212-13) suggests adding the concept of transformation to Narmour's (1980, p.147-53) prosodic rules which create rhythmic successions in order to explain or generate syncopations. |

| | More specifically, a metrically syncopated moment is defined as occurring when no note-onset happens at a moment whose metric position is more important than that of the most recent note onset. | | | Barlines are represented using the "common system" for barlines -- see barlines. | | | Numerical **synco values are equal to the logarithm of the metric position of the previous onset minus the logarithm of the metric position of the current moment -- where the current moment has no note onset, and coincides with a higher metric position than the previous onset. |

| | For example, a simple tune can be made to include syncopation by moving the position of one note back (in time) by half a beat, so making it longer, and the note before it shorter, as in the last note of this example: | | | The quaver-crotchet-quaver rhythm in the first bar is also a form of syncopation, but weaker than the one just described. | | | Syncopation is often thought of as being a modern invention, being used exclusively in jazz and pop music. |
