Labanotation - Timing
To give measured timing, the centre line is ticked off
into beats. The length used for a beat is kept regular throughout a section.
Once the length of a basic beat is established the whole scale of values
as in music notation is determined.
It is common practice to establish the length of the basic beat/unit
in the starting position.
The length of the basic symbols is then altered to fit the length of time the step or gesture lasts.
