Alas, that copy protection... I'll post the score PDF when it's done, because LP's 4VC#5 has lots of things that look easy and aren't really even hard to perform, but which are tricky to set as he wants them. The bottom (first entering) voice is a straight 5/4 with the pulse in quarters. The second voice is all various triplets (3:2 eighth and quarter structures), which cross the barlines occasionally. The third voice is all quintuplets (5:4 eighth structures), which de-sync from the triplets and cross barlines every other measure, and cross bars on every other system. The top (last entering) voice is back in straight 5/4 with no crossings, but with four pulses of various combinations of eighth + dotted 16th + 16th + 32nd. So there's no easy way to match the meter to the barlines. The barlines are really only a visual convenience for the outer voices. (Four Voice Canon #4 is even trickier, with an expanding bar size from 4 notes to 16, notes top-to-bottom across 5 staves at different times but sometimes on the same stem, and otherwise no notes with stems, and no rests shown even though the notes are all solid.)
