Hmm, I thought Lilypond was just software for producing very good 
quality traditional Western music notation. It's a different method?

Oh, sorry, I read your "different methods of notation" as different 
forms of music notation - IOW, something different from traditional 
Western music notation. Csound's a programming language, I guess that 
could be considered a form of music notation, but I'd consider that one 
specialized for "reading" by Csound. Like a player piano scroll is 
specialized for reading by a player piano.

I just don't think of them as "music notation". I'm probably too 
sheet-music oriented.

What's Mondrian?
