I've been dissecting the rhythmic architecture of your latest score; there's a pattern that, if refined, could make the ensemble's timing as precise as a well‑oiled machine.

Sure, the issue is the syncopation on the 2nd beat of each bar. Instead of the current 3/8 feel, I propose tightening it to a 3/8 pulse with a 1/8 offbeat on the "and" of beat two, then looping that for four bars. That gives the horn section a more defined anchor. Test it in the next run‑through and measure the tempo drift—if it holds, we can keep it.

Just keep an eye on the metronome and make sure the horn section locks onto that offbeat; if anyone starts drifting, cut it out immediately. We'll know in one rehearsal whether this little tweak actually holds the pulse or just makes the piece feel jittery. Good luck.

Sounds like a plan. Keep the metronome steady and let the horns answer the call—if they misalign, it’s a clear signal to drop the pattern. We'll see whether the pulse holds or just adds a new kind of jitter. Good luck, and keep the data clean.
