Show HN: Simplified music notation
&gt; Note length, tempo, velocity, progression and other stuff are minor worries in comparison. Those things can be felt, without learning.<p>Can it? How do you learn a piece for which you only have a sheet? I would go even further and say that the most I learned about music was from handwritten notes on musicians or conductors[1] sheets.<p>Yes, I can figure out a lot myself just because of my background knowledge but give me something of an obscure era&#x2F;modernist fashion and I am completely lost. Furthermore, I played the flute, so tempo, for example, dictates how to start a note (lacking the English term here) because there is a huge difference of what I can do to a single note when played larghissimo in contrast to prestissimo.<p>And especially with lots of modern music, composers resort to their own, additional notation because classical notation is <i>not enough to express the music on paper</i>.
