for everyone to catch up to the status quo. AT present, a lot of
people in "third-world" countries are catching up to 'modern'
notation and sonality and the like, and learning what those of us in
western Europe and north America take for granted.
A question is: Once that is done, what will those new voices add
that we haven't really considered before?
Thanks for that excellent consideration of the topic. We have shoehorned
many of these non-European musics into western notation, and there are
working notations (such as Javanese gamelan and Indian carnatic) that
don't
fit well at all, and elementary modular transcriptions of African music
plus what I think of as a kind of Esperanto of African music notation,
Greenotation.
Very good point indeed. Now when will Finale support these? :)

Not in 2007. :)

Why not? It will be a much bigger marketing splash to be able to brag
"Finale 2007 Now Allows Proper Notation for Gamelan, Carnatic, plus the
terrific new standard for African music notation, Greenotation!" than
to be able to brag "Finale 2007 now has shape expression design which
actually works properly" or "We've finally improved over 274 existing
problems!"
