Hmmm... Does it means that Trevor's Debussy examples are not to be added? I must have missed something in the discussion; I thought wherever we could find "nice" and simple examples, the current manual examples could be replaced with those. (Just to make something clear: when I talked about Mozart or Chopin, I meant four-measures examples, nothing more). > > So with that in mind I've started thinking more about "what one > > snippet would best show off contemporary notation as a whole" rather > > than "what snippet would show off polymetric notation", etc. OK, this is a different kind of examples (what I called "non-verbatim" examples). It's more about demonstrating features than "teaching" how to do it simply, isnt'it? (As I already said, both verbatim and non-verbatim examples are welcome.) > If each snippet is a single staff of three-five measures, we could fit > four of them. I think.

I mentioned Han-Wen's "screech and boink" example, which had impressed me as a teenager; I think very short examples can be more impressive, and more efficient -- how about: -One system from a Stockhausen Klavierstücke -One system from a Grisey ensemble piece -possibly one system from a graphical Cage piece (to demonstrate clusters, etc.) Valentin
