Category:PD ineligible rhythms

Files are added automatically to this category by placing the template {{PD-rhythm}} on their description pages. Do not add files to this category manually!
Maintenance: Search for misplaced files using PetScan (will not work on categories shared by many templates).

Media in this category depicts a rhythm outside of a specific musical context. Rhythms may be presented without melody or harmony (no "distinctiveness"), may be used in compositions by multiple composers ("common material"), and may not be readily apparent in compositions. As such, a rhythm is a musical concept or technique, which is considered too simple to be eligible for copyright protection, or which consists only of technique, with no original creative input.
