In fact, I linked the Crumb and the Stockhausen precisely because these classic scores already contained familiar-looking content in addition to the (non-optional!) shapes of the scores. I'm asking that we not dismiss or disrespect several generations of notational development as aberrant or not central to music (as 'unwinding the spiral' does to the Crumb). Yes, it does require a bit of rethinking of what constitutes representation of content -- indeed, it can be a real irritation with a good helping of facepalms! :) Here are some of my own examples from 1969-2014. The first two have few presentational demands and most can be made with font elements (*if* the fonts begin to contain the kind of character variability -- not presently available -- that permits the flexible "messa de voce" from earlier in this discussion). <http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/music/pdf/composition-tape-and-soloists-1969.pdf> <http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/music/pdf/withered.pdf> <http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/music/pdf/aurora.pdf> <http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/music/waam/lunar-cascade-january.pdf> <http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/music/waam/lunar-cascade-june.pdf> <http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/music/waam/fields-of-vision.pdf> <http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/music/pdf/aveaux-gadreaux-movement-two.pdf> <http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/music/pdf/water-no-fire-full.pdf> Here is an animated score: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1USWnH0kBSc> (More info on animated notation at <http://animatednotation.x-projekte.de/>) Here are these classic old scores, including the one linked earlier by Johannes Kepper: <http://www.moz.ac.at/sem/lehre/ws09/ak/02form-farbe/scores/> Thanks, Dennis
