	Musical notation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		It is not used to notate music for performance, but is a common analytical and compositional tool when working with twelve tone, serial, or otherwise atonal music.
		Graphic notation refers to the contemporary use of non-traditional symbols and text to convey information about the performance of a piece of music.
		Some times the pitches of music written in just intonation are notated with the frequency ratios, while Ben Johnston has devised a system for representing just intonation with traditional western notation and the addition of accidentals which indicate the centss a pitch is to be lowered or raised.

	notation (music)
		These graphic signs showed the rise and fall of the notes of a melody, but did not give a precise placing of pitch or rhythm.
		Modern music notation uses a stave of five lines, with a clef to show the exact pitch of the notes on it.
		Other signs and words can be added to the written music to show the tempo, dynamics (how loudly or softly the music should be played), and how the music should be played – for example legato (smoothly) or staccato (each note short and separate).

	Carnatic Music Notation system
		Carnatic music notation is written using the solfa 'sa ri ga ma pa da ni' in textual form unlike the staff notation which is graphic.
		Generally the notation is used to learn a composition rather than play it by sight and some of the practices in writing notation may be attributed to this.
		The notation is written on one line and the lyric is written on the line below with words of lyric aligned to their corresponding notes.

		Music lovers can also broaden their knowledge by exploring the site, which is the result of a summer internship collaboration project of the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art and the Academic Technologies unit of Informa-tion Technology.
		Graphic music notation emerged in the early 20th century when contemporary composers such as Earle Brown, John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen began experimenting with new sounds and had to develop new ways to instruct performers to produce them.
		“Graphical music notation was the perfect choice because it was a combination of visual art and music, and it gave us the opportunity to play with various multimedia technologies,” said Samsurin Welch, one of the seven students involved in the project.

	Nightingale Music Notation Software for Macintosh Documentation links
		After an initial code letter identifying the type of musical event, the first parameter for most musical events in a score is the time at which that event occurs (measured from the beginning of the score).
		It is unlikely that musical data recorded in graphical forms of notation can be meaningfully shared between programs in any case, without declaring the kind of standardized prescriptions for their use that such notations are designed to avoid.
		For example, in violin and guitar music, harmonics are often (but not universally) indicated by combining on a single stem a normal note representing the fingerboard position to be stopped with a diamond-shape note showing the harmonic node to be touched.

	Music Notation, Technical Requirements
		This initiative may increase the present market for music notation that presently is mainly limited to sheet music production, and may open the path to create very interesting new applications, renovating the present applications that already use some integration between multimedia and music notation.
		In order to identify a unique notation format to satisfy all these application fields and to set the basis for the new forthcoming applications, several aspects have to be considered, ranging from information modeling and format to integration and synchronization of the music notation information into other media and cross-media tools and formats.
		This is performed by using graphic primitives and fonts, and associated parameters such as size, font and style together with mechanisms to avoid confusions (e.g., collisions, overlapping, etc) among graphic details.

	Introduction to the Music Theory Cipher_Part 2 page 1
		From a communications perspective, the mechanics and nomenclature of music theory’s elemental systems (as they stand today), all of the dots, letters, and numbers, are poorly designed, and they don’t make sense to novices nor the common person generally.
		It’s no secret to anyone who’s managed to get through their first years of music instruction, and it’s certainly no secret to music teachers that there are some fundamental problems with the design and mechanics of music’s basic nomenclature.
		In a nut shell, this is what music theory is, a collection of treasured recipes.] For the majority of the worlds would-be music students, young and old, staff notation is not the answer.

	Treatise (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Treatise, composed by Cornelius Cardew, is a work comprising 193 pages of lines, symbols, and graphic music notation, with no explicit instruction to the performer(s) in how to perform the work.
		Cardew suggested that performers devise their own rules and methods of interpreting the work in advance, however.
		A savage indictment of Treatise may be seen in a speech delivered by Cardew at the ‘International Symposium on the Problematic of Today’s Musical Notation’ held in Rome in October 1972, as transcribed in his highly polemical book Stockhausen Serves Imperialism (1974), available in PDF format at UBUweb.

		The music symbols in a NIFF file are physically grouped by page and staff, so symbols belonging to a common logical time-slice may be physically separated in the file.
		Durations in music notation are inherently rational numbers (fractions) which describe the relationship between a specific unit of time (the note value) and a standard unit of time (traditionally the whole note).
		EPS graphics in the Custom Graphics list table are referred to by means of the Custom Graphic Symbol chunk, which represents a symbol with no musical function, or the Custom Graphic tag, which is applied to a music symbol chunk to override the default appearance of the symbol.

		Although a rhythmic dash might be confused with marcato, musicians seem to have no trouble distinguishing rhythmic dots from staccatos, and at least a dash suggests mathematical subtraction, which is close to the "zero" or "absent" meaning of the symbol in its new context.
		However, the traditional notation is also a straitjacket, forcing composers to think of beats in terms of "simple" or "compound" to the exclusion of other possibilities.

		LilyPond supports an impressive number of notation requirements, including figured bass and lyrics, so I could see myself preparing a basic "input" score with Rosegarden that I could export to LilyPond for refinement.
		This two-step process is probably anathema to the Win/Mac folks, but as Professor Belkin points out, the all-in-one aproach simply can't accomodate all the possible situations that arise during the formatting of notation destined for printed output.
		It really does give me a better appreciation for the capabilities of RG as measured against the "state of the art" for the Mac in 1994, and I agree that the criteria probably hasn't gone out of date.
