I mean just develop the graphics using primative methods to produce the
output you want. Like sprites (jpg, png), but procedural based.
eg..
void drawWholeNote(canvas, centerx,centery, scale)
{
canvas.drawCircle(etc.....);
}
void drawHalfNote(canvas, centerx,centery, scale)
{
canvas.drawCircle(etc.....)
canvas.drawLine(etc....)
}
