Rubyist, fledgling polyglot with a soft spot for AWK

In search of the perfect cup of coffee, and the perfect chord progression

I love language: words, grammar, meter and scan[scion].

I have reasonable pitch, and I play piano, harmonica, recorder, and harpejji.

Aug 10	comment	Musical notation/tablature for isomorphic instruments @awe: sorry, confusing choice of words. I mean neither, actually. If you start a string at C, then go across the fretboard, the notes are: C D E F# G# A# C
Aug 10	comment	Musical notation/tablature for isomorphic instruments I have seen a little tablature notation for guitar (despite, as you correctly surmise above, not being a guitarist), but I can't help but think it would get quite unweildy for an instrument with 16 strings (to say nothing of the 24-string bass variant). Are there any other notation systems people have used over time?

Aug 10	comment	Musical notation/tablature for isomorphic instruments no, not like a guitar.

On a harpejji there are many more choices because of the greater number of strings and the smaller intervals between them…
Aug 10	comment	Musical notation/tablature for isomorphic instruments That's true, I hadn't considered the string section of instruments. The harpejji's strings are only a tone apart, though, so the number of options are much greater…
