Nonrigidity of piecewise-smooth circle maps

Let $f_{i},$ $i=1,2$ be piecewise-smooth $C^{1}$ circle homeomorphisms with two break points, $\log Df_{i},$ $i=1,2$ are absolutely continuous on each continuity intervals of $Df_{i}$ and $D\log Df_{i}\in L^{p}$ for some $p>1.$ Suppose, the jump ratios of $f_{1}$ and $f_{2}$ at their break points do not coincide but have the same total jumps (i.e. the product of jump ratios) and identical irrational rotation number of bounded type. Then the conjugation $h$ between $f_{1}$ and $f_{2}$ is a singular function, i.e. it is continuous on $S^1,$ but $Dh(x)=0$ a.e. with respect to Lebesgue measure.
