With sly, it would look like this, but you have to copy
*2 *8 * * * . That is not a disadvantage, since this
approach makes it easy to understand later what you did.
g g g f f *2 *8 * * * | ees ees ees c c *2 *8 * * * | more parts.....
for example to change the rhytm once.
g g g f f *2 *8 * * * | ees ees ees *2 *8 * 4c | more parts.....
or, same thing:
g g g f f *2 *8 * * * | ees ees ees c *2 *8 * 4* | more parts.....
