| The first line is used as the name of the rhythm - use a "/" for a sub-title or source. 
The other lines describe the various parts.  Each part description must 
start with the Intrument name followed by a colon (":") and 
is terminated by a semicolon (";"). Other significant characters are:
    "&" which starts a new line on the printed partition
   "/" which starts a new line with "handing" (left/right) information 
           [Can also be used for Bell part].
Note that spaces play no part and a silence is indicated by a dash or a period.  
Other letters used in this example (B,O and C) are compatible with the notation of 
our MIDI Sound Generator.Short lines are extended and we deduce wether we are in 3 or in 4 from the number of notes. 
Alternatively, you can force a grouping in N by adding  "/N" to the instrument name. See 
   second part: Djembe1 written in "4"!
