# Motivation
I'm a guitar player, and I use tablature notation editors such as Guitar Pro a lot. However, it gets complicated fast to write a polyrhythmic/polymetric drum parts as shifts tend to go over the bar lines. The other property of such parts is: it tend to unfold in a simple way from simple ideas such as "I want to create a drum part that will have a 3 against 4 feel with a kick drum against a snare drum". The other way to think about it is that it has a simple blueprint, but it's tricky to express in the western musical notation. This is why `Polyrhythmix` exists. I wanted to have a simple tool to workshop/brainstorm rhythmic ideas and evaluate them by having a MIDI playback. I'm into modern progressive rock/metal music, fusion, so it all applies very well. I have an impression it may be useful for indian carnatic music as well, but I would like to get some insightful confirmation on that.
