I was having a bash at some jig rhythms, and came up with the following:
DudDuDuddDuD,
the capitals being the emphasized notes.
I suppose it would be a sort of 12/8, since it takes 12 beats for the whole sequence.

Or you can think of it as "playing over the bar line" where you create a sense of shift in the time structure within a 6/8. Your phrasing moves or shifts across the steady 6/8 pattern. Sometimes emphasizing the "one" within the 6/8, and other times de-emphasizing it by accenting off the one. Or holding an accent note from one measure into the next, like jumping on the duh of the 2, and playing thru to the duh of the 1 in the next measure.

It's generally thought of as a polyrhythmic playing, but doesn't necessarily require that as much as creating the feeling of polyrhythm. Be careful with it though, it is one thing to do this in a Jazz context, quite another when someone is trying to dance to your music.

You actually hear this a lot in ITM. where the downbeat seems to shift, and it can be easy to loose where the "one" is when you have a strong melody player.

When not over-thought, but played intuitively within the moment, it can be a great addition to the music.
