Fivelets: Bi o lo gi cal

Which EASILY become Sevenlets by changing it to: Se mi bi o lo gi cal.

Sixlets work fairly easily in two ways:

1: Turn the beat into a triplet, so that you have
ONE LA LE TWO LA LE THREE etc...

and then subdivide it to
ONE ta LA ta LE ta TWO ta LA ta LE ta

OR
2: Subdivide the beat into two sets of triplets...say it was a quarter
note...divide the quarter into two eighth notes, then turn each eighth
note into a set of 16th triples. Voila!
