== Description ==

'''Free Time Beats''' are a ~~gimmick in Rhythm Doctor~~. ~~Instead of pressing (holding) spacebar on every '''7th Beats'''~~, ~~you~~ can ~~press the spacebar '''randomly'''~~ to ~~easily get an S-Rank~~.

'''Free Time Beats''' (also "Free Times") are a [[Classic Beat]] that has been split up into multiple events. This allows you to change the timing for each beat individually, and can be used to create gimmicks like [[Syncopation]].

== Levels ==

*[[~~Song of~~ the ~~Sea~~]]

*[[Lo-fi Hip-Hop Beats To Treat Patients To]] (purely CPU, never played)

*[[~~Song~~ of the ~~Sea (Night)~~]]

*[[Distant Duet]] (song swings in an irregular manner)

*[[One Shift More]] (some pulses offset to match the lyrics)

*[[Steinway]] (some pulses offset to match the piano)

*[[Know You]] (tutorialised as a custom pattern)

*[[The 90's Decision]] (tutorialised as a custom pattern)

== Cueing ==

There are lots of ways to cue Free Time Beats. If the rhythm doesn't fall into any pre-established gimmick, the best way to cue it is by showing a pattern once with CPU control, then repeating it and letting the player play it. If the same row has more pattern variation, keeping the Free Time Beats with a '''[[Set Beat Sound|unique beatsound]]''' helps differentiate it from other patterns, and is the most common way of doing so.

Alternative ways of cueing Free Time Beats are by making a custom cue and pattern, though this is generally discouraged for levels that don't use such a pattern often.
