You know...I always hate it when people say broad things like that with
nothing to back up their statement.
Disclaimer: I am a classically trained musician with a Bachelor's of
Music from a nationally recognized private university.
All languages have leeway on notation. Music has a highly formalized
system of notation or "language" with "standards". Trust me I learned
about about figured-bass, harmonization, 20th century technique. Just
think about it - the ancient Greeks had a sophisticated form of music
notation since at least the 6th century BC. So music has been under
heavy evolution for at least 2,500 years. I guess by your definition
music has weak formal notation.
Just because there are a many ways to get from point A to point B
doesn't mean the language is weak - it all depends on how YOU do it.
The end product is a direct result of the programmer, not the language
(unless you're trying to do something the language wasn't designed
for). A programmer can write crap in CFM and a composer can write just
as equal crap in music. It's all about how YOU leverage the language.
Institute your own STANDARDS and don't expect others to do that for you...
