Answer
To notate the rhythm of the missing notes in bars 2 to 3, we analyze the given rhythmic phrase. The missing notes can be represented as:
Half note (๐) for the first space
Quarter note (๐) for the second space
Quarter note (๐) for the third space
Eighth notes for the subsequent two spaces
This results in the following rhythm for the missing notes:
| ๐ | ๐ | ๐ | ๐๐ |
The final representation in standard notation would include the appropriate bars and time signatures.

Answer
The intervals can be determined by counting the letter names from note P to note Q:
For P: The interval is a Major Second (2nd) as P is followed by a note one whole step above it.
For Q: The interval is a Perfect Octave (8th) as Q is exactly an octave higher than P.
