The Compás Clock

1     2      3    4     5     6    7     8     9     10     11     12    

Other forms with this compás structure are Caña, Polo, Policiana and Soleá por Bulerias

1     2      3    4     5     6    7     8     9     10     11     12   

This is essentially the same as Soleares, except that the 12 count is subdued or softened.

Other forms with this compás structure are Cantiñas, Mirabrás, Caracoles and Romeras

This is the usual way to count bulerias with extra accent on the 3:

12    1     2      3    4     5     6    7     8     9     10     11

The accents are placed on each count of 1, to correspond with the 12,  3,  6,  8  and 10 of the clock. This divides up the 12 into bite size chunks of 3-3-2-2-2

1    2     3     1    2     3     1    2     1    2     1    2    

In the real world, the count of 7 is often accented instead of 6 like this:

12    1     2      3    4     5     6    7    8     9     10     11    

Other forms with this compás structure are Guajiras, Peteneras, Zorongo and Alboreás

8      9      10      11      12      1      2      3      4      5      6      7     

1      and      2      and      3      and      a      4      and      a      5      and     

Other forms with this compás structure are Livianas and Serranas

This is what the linear compás relationships look like
