Hello,
I have a question, how hard do you think it would be create a notation
engine for GEM? What considerations would go into the design?
On the simplest level, I'm imagining doing non-rhythmic notation to
display chords and cells for improvisors.
Since the number of notes on a chord would be

something similar...
Jaa.

1. (0 3 5 1 2 4) might make sense for an engineer because zero for him would
be the first note,
but a musician uses to start with one, not zero. If this notation is for
expressing some voicings,
that is a lot easier and free to read under jazz notation for a human,
