I hadn't realized you had to keep pausing - 'twould indeed make for
strange rhythms.
So it doesn't sound very nice. Every so often I toy with the idea of a
'musical conlang'. It should be possible
to come up with something that doesn't need all those pesky pauses. I
think one should include morae as
well as different pitches - um, something to do when I retire ;)
