I wrote this so the note values vary every measure or so, then I realized that you probably want each note to change with every note. I'll do it over if that's the case.

Yeah, I should've specified more. The idea is that within the same measure, you have for 123456 and then 654321 in two separate voices, and things like that. But trying to keep the row within a measure, so that each note value comes one after the other.
So, in one measure you'd have in one voice if it's 123456 with your row, it starts with a quarter and then come each of the other values until the 16th note at the end.
I have an example I did a while ago:
serialism.jpg the score, and
serialism1.mp3 Mp3 audio
The thing is, in my example I not only serialized the note durations, but I also serialized the pitches, and write a little scheme of how it flowed. It's detailed on the top of the score, though in German. Either way, it should give you an idea of how it works. Note I also did away with measures altogether, since I find them pretty pointless in something like this, though it helps to keep things organized sometimes.
