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?
