Re: simplifying chromatic scale notation

[Chris Yate]

Wow. Clairnote looks like an incredibly stupid idea, and a grand disservice to any poor child who you teach to read it.  Simplified notation is not a lot better.

Unless they spend their lives playing on their own at home, musicians have eventually to play with other people who will have learnt a method of notation that's been good for 400 years.

I just struggled with studying a complex music piece and thought that all the chromatic lines are horrible to read in standard notation. Especially the "enharmonic problem" is distracting the musician from a very simple musical structure. So I tried some of my ideas and can present one, which is IMO good to read.

See attached. Comments, suggestions are very welcome ;)

Reminds me of Clairnote, a more radical approach, which has also been realised with LilyPond: <http://clairnote.org/>.

Best, Simon
