Gulf–Bandari 4/4 Method
A practical framework for writing, rehearsing and programming the Bandari groove inside a 4/4 grid. It separates a performer-readable 3+3+2 notation from an analytical 1/128 timing model — 0 / 13 / 23 / 32 per beat — derived from listening and timing comparison of Bandar Abbas and Hormozgan performance practice.
Independent technical note published on Zenodo (v1.0: 8 June 2026; v1.1: 15 June 2026). It is not a peer-reviewed article, and it makes no ownership claim over traditional Bandari rhythm, which remains collective cultural heritage.
Exact layer: 13 + 10 + 9 = 32/128. Practical layer: 3 + 3 + 2 on a 1/32 grid (12 + 12 + 8). The difference is a consistent micro-timing offset of +1 / −2 / +1.
