the tempi change should end, both voices should fall

into sync on some note in their patterns in the relationship
indicated, and the player that just modulated should begin
playing the next pattern of notes.

sync on the notes indicated; it could
be any note in the pattern.

roman numerals indicate the fret number.

Instructions:
The players should repeat their patterns while following the tempi markings, indicated in the score by arrows. Here, tempi is thought
of as relative to the other voice. A typical tempi marking might indicate that the player is to accelerate from eight-notes against the
other players quater-notes to triplets against the other players quarter-notes. At the end of a transition, when the new tempi
relationship has been reached, the player should then move on to the new note pattern.
