In this chapter, we will see that musical rhythms and metrical hierarchies can be represented by integer ratios. In fact, Western notation practice is to a large extent based on this principle. Note events fit into this framework by alignment with discrete onset times on a metrical grid structure. This metrical grid and the rhythms can be described by filtered Farey Sequences.
