JML polyrythms

[proured]

Hey
I've been experimenting with JML to animate some polyrythmic juggling.
For a start I tried to do 4 balls in a 2 vs 3 rythm.
The short way does not work:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE jml SYSTEM "file://jml.dtd">
<jml version="1.2">
<pattern>
<title>2vs3</title>
<prop type="ball"/>
<setup jugglers="1" paths="4" props="1,1,1,1"/>
<symmetry type="delay" pperm="(1,3)" delay=".2"/>
<symmetry type="delay" pperm="(2,4)" delay=".3"/>

<event x="-10" y="0" z="0" t="0" hand="1:left">
<throw path="3" type="toss"/>
</event>
<event x="-40" y="0" z="0" t="0.1" hand="1:left">
<catch path="1"/>
</event>

<event x="10" y="0" z="0" t="0" hand="1:right">
<throw path="4" type="toss"/>
</event>
<event x="40" y="0" z="0" t="0.15" hand="1:right">
<catch path="2"/>
</event>


</pattern>
</jml>

Of course it is possible to take the tedious way and specify each throw in a full circle:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE jml SYSTEM "file://jml.dtd">
<jml version="1.2">
<pattern>
<title>2vs3</title>
<prop type="ball"/>
<setup jugglers="1" paths="4" props="1,1,1,1"/>
<symmetry type="delay" pperm="(1)(2)(3)(4)" delay="2"/>


<event x="10" y="0" z="0" t="0" hand="1:right">
<throw path="3" type="toss"/>
</event>
<event x="40" y="0" z="0" t="0.1034" hand="1:right">
<catch path="1"/>
</event>

<event x="10" y="0" z="0" t="0.5" hand="1:right">
<throw path="1" type="toss"/>
</event>
<event x="40" y="0" z="0" t="0.6034" hand="1:right">
<catch path="3"/>
</event>

<event x="10" y="0" z="0" t="1" hand="1:right">
<throw path="3" type="toss"/>
</event>
<event x="40" y="0" z="0" t="1.1034" hand="1:right">
<catch path="1"/>
</event>

<event x="10" y="0" z="0" t="1.5" hand="1:right">
<throw path="1" type="toss"/>
</event>
<event x="40" y="0" z="0" t="1.6034" hand="1:right">
<catch path="3"/>
</event>


<event x="-10" y="0" z="0" t="0" hand="1:left">
<throw path="4" type="toss"/>
</event>
<event x="-40" y="0" z="0" t="0.1034" hand="1:left">
<catch path="2"/>
</event>

<event x="-10" y="0" z="0" t="0.3333" hand="1:left">
<throw path="2" type="toss"/>
</event>
<event x="-40" y="0" z="0" t="0.395" hand="1:left">
<catch path="4"/>
</event>

<event x="-10" y="0" z="0" t="0.6667" hand="1:left">
<throw path="4" type="toss"/>
</event>
<event x="-40" y="0" z="0" t="0.7284" hand="1:left">
<catch path="2"/>
</event>

<event x="-10" y="0" z="0" t="1" hand="1:left">
<throw path="2" type="toss"/>
</event>
<event x="-40" y="0" z="0" t="1.1034" hand="1:left">
<catch path="4"/>
</event>

<event x="-10" y="0" z="0" t="1.3333" hand="1:left">
<throw path="4" type="toss"/>
</event>
<event x="-40" y="0" z="0" t="1.4366" hand="1:left">
<catch path="2"/>
</event>

<event x="-10" y="0" z="0" t="1.6667" hand="1:left">
<throw path="2" type="toss"/>
</event>
<event x="-40" y="0" z="0" t="1.79" hand="1:left">
<catch path="4"/>
</event>


</pattern>
</jml>

Is there a better way to notate this pattern in JML?
Is it at all possible to use the same type of symmetry multiple times for one pattern?

Hi @proured my apologies for not responding for a year, I didn't notice there was a discussion here!

If you get this you might be interested in the other discussion on polyrhythm patterns here, and the new hand siteswap feature in Juggling Lab.
