The (Welsh) ap Huw manuscript gives 24 "measures," sort of like chord progressions (but not really), in its characteristic "binary notation" of 1's and 0's.
Welsh bardic poetry has 24 different verse forms.
A first cut at lining them up is... not terribly encouraging. There are some measures that would apply very well to some of the poetic forms, but many that don't. If you're assuming a one-syllable-to-one-number ratio - that is, that: 1101 * 1101 corresponds directly to two sets of four syllables.
I may be wrong to jump to the conclusion that because 24 = 24, these two things are obviously meant to go together. For further reading, Standing Stones has a good discussion, this page from Bill Taylor might help, and this FAQ by Mistress Tangwystl (Heather Rose Jones) is interesting.
