A very brief introduction to the notation of the Ars Subtilior... including scores shaped as harps, and hearts!

A musical notation question ... I've been digitizing some handwritten scores for a klezmer workshop, all pieces by this old NY violinist Israel J. Hochman, and he often has the habit of writing a slur or line across the first two notes of triplets. Does it mean anything in particular about how it should be played?

Religions take the cast and hue of the cultures in which they find root. This was certainly true in #Tibet when #Buddhism arrived in the 7th century. It transformed and was transformed by the native religion of Bon. Of the many creative practices that arose from this synthesis, Tibetan Buddhist music ranks very highly in importance

I have just published a #GitHub repo that lays out an idea I have had for a little while. I would love to get a little team together to try and make it a reality!

My goal is to create a file format similar to #Markdown that can be used to create #musical notation similar to #Lilypond. I am still trying to figure out what direction I want to take it though so any help would be appreciated!

So an old friend of mine just released the website of a new Open Source musical notation softare project, FrankenScore. It is based on a previous brainchild of his, Igor Engraver. If you're interested in musical notation you should check it out: https://www.ooloi.org/

I'm not sure how to best explain how awesome everything is to you guys but here's

the introduction for musicians: https://www.ooloi.org/introduction-for-musicians.html

the introduction for programmers: https://www.ooloi.org/introduction-for-programmers.html

the introduction for anti-capitalists: https://www.ooloi.org/introduction-for-anti-capitalists.html

There is also a technical comparison to Finale and Sibelius, but I'm sure if you have read this far, you'll find the link on your own.

Just out of curiosity:
In "Yuve Yuve Yu" by The Hu, there's a part where a violin or similar instrument is made to sound like a neighing horse.

How does one write that in musical notation?
Do we actually have symbols for this or did someone just write: "goes horse mode here ↑"?

I always wondered in which category I fall with my disdain of musical notation and my happiness with https://planetware.de/tune_in/Buch/farbmusik.html
