Freewheeling might be a nice tool for that. I use a dictaphone with a
professional player to transcribe it, one of these machines with a foot
switch.
The approach "makes the sheet less white" for me, gives the beat a natural
gesture. The rest of the job kind of crossword puzzle hacking - something to
get you through the night ;-)
BTW, nice to see all the music and collaboration efforts going. Good stuff!

Interesting. I have played with loops like you
suggest, but I use a
tracker and the offset command. One I did a long time ago is at
http://dis-dot-dat.net/content/music/dasub.ogg
For some reason, I never thought of creating a loop myself and then
pulling the same trick. Now that you've said it, it seems like the
obvious thing to try.
Thanks for that.
Oh, and my only ever attempt at doing it all by hand:

Doesn't sound like you could learn much about breakbeats from me ;-)
Nice tracks.
Only one suggestion: try to layer beats, use 2 pairs of snare and
kick.
