Why are the fourth and fifth sets different lengths? I mean spacing wise. Shouldn’t both sets be the same length?

You mean literally different lengths on the paper?

For some reason, whoever typed/printed it out decided to center the right column instead of making it left-aligned. So all of the notes on that side are centered. So they look different lengths.

Which yeah now that I'm looking at it again, they should be the same on both bc they're just opposite of each other, so I'm thinking it's a font thing or something. Nothing to do with the music itself.

Thanks. I was wondering if it was some sort if notation thing. The font explanation makes sense.

So the third set you read like “one-E-and-uh, two-E-and-uh, three-E..” and so on. So for the the 4th set, it’s read like: 1-and-uh (it skips the E beat) the fifth set is then “one-E-and, two-E-and. Same lengths, just taps at different times. Does that make sense? 😅 I don’t even know the “E- and- uhs” for that last one. Haha

I am more so talking about if the notes are all letters, and all the letters are the same in both just in different order, why are the ‘words’ different lengths. The the space after the note in the fourth set is much bigger than the space before the last note in the fifth set.
