Rhythm Distribution in Session Tunes

Of related interest:

This list ranks rhythms by their relative frequency in my current repertoire. The total number of tunes listed there is 603.

One way to interpret this is to take it as an estimate of the ratios of tune types played in Madison, Wisconsin sessions. It also seems to generally agree with the distribution within the global session scene, insofar as any such generalization is possible (or useful) at all.

Compare Rhythm Distribution which considers all tunes in my database, not just the tunes I play.
