We aren't yet so sophisticated to move all the parts.. But, I'm getting to the point of an understanding of what could be communicated in a piece if everyone were high level enough.. It almost seems limitless in possible musical sophistication!
Sandy transitions from the meta patterns to the agwe patterns (and back) without stopping. It can be challenging but it's great when you get it down and smoothly make the switch over. I'll post the meta to agwe to meta transitions later.

Whenever I find the occasion to share any authentic transcriptions, I'll do that. My resources are rather limited, though.
