Remember how I prefaced my first post: "You're gonna hate me for this one". :) The notes are determined by the overlay of several spiral densities on straight staves. The spirals have to be in place before the notes can be applied because the notes form part of four different staves -- left spiral, right spiral, and straight horizontal, straight vertical. Anybody every see a copy of Larry Austin's "Square"? He placed staves on a square piece of paper so that no matter which way you turned it, it was a complete piece made up of intersecting staves with notes whose volume was determine by size and length by distance. My own "Aurora Cagealis" used concentric circle staff overlays on imaginary star fields. Larry's was hand drawn (it appeared in Cage's "Notations") and mine used computer-generated circles but hand-drawn star fields. I don't mind hand-placing and rotating notes in a vector drawing program, but it's that doggone staff spiral that's got me! That's the piece I need first!
