I tend to agree with Peter - what kind of standards are you looking for anyway?

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... {raging rant done} Best, .Peter -- Peter J.
