I'm entering the Abbey Road scoring competition, and having fun with it even though I don't really know what I'm doing and have no chance of winning. I improv'd in the opening section without any regard for timing and kind of liked it, so I kept it with some tweaking. I managed to tweak the chords so they're at least the same length and still mostly hit the beats I wanted, but now they're in a weird time signature. The chords themselves are four bars long, but then there's a half bar gap between them. I don't even know what time signature that is, 4/18? As you can see, the opening's a bit sparse (although that section is more about playing with sound than any amazing orchestration), so I thought I could spice it up with some pizzicato string or harp arpeggios, but the timing is really throwing me off. Is there anything to be done, or is it a fool's errand?
