In music for the past 60 years or so, layout and content are often fused. One of the greatest failings of notation programs has been their inability even to accommodate these needs, much less do them well. My hope for these new standards are that they would be truly contemporary -- including the past but not being imprisoned by it. Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Cage, George Crumb, Christian Wolff, Kristina Wolfe, John ZammitPace, and hundreds if not thousands of other composers use layout, graphical elements, frequency and tuning information, and even 3D elements (etc.) as an integral part of their syntax, bound to how the music is performed and understood. Starting points for emancipated, symbolic, time-based, graphical, etc., notation: Karkoschka: Notation in New Music Cage: Notations Möller/Shim/Stäbler: SoundVisions Sauer: Notations21 Thanks, Dennis
