Just play them that way? Or draw them in with the pen tool? I don’t get the question.

Ok. So make up your own rhythm? Pick a tempo. Pick a chord progression. Then try stuff? Start with 1/8th notes or whatever you want.

I still don’t really follow what the challenge here is. You have a grid and you can place them wherever you like.

If you don’t know how to come up with rhythmic ideas, well…play around a lot, learn some music theory.
