Abstract:
Textual denotation of temporal data, i.e.
parameter histories indexed by time, can be a challenge.
In different domains very different notation systems
have been developed for pen and paper, esp. serving the requirements of
real-time practice, like graphical schedules, kinetographic notation systems,
scenarios, and, as the most complex example, music in the sense
of CWN, Conventional Western Notation.
These systems work with symbolic representation of activities
and combined expressional and spatial representation of time.
In contrast, existing computer readable formats are quite different,
either as simple list formats, or as expression languages.
"tscore" bridges the gap between these two worlds as a
notation suited for reading and writing by both humans and
computers, based on the experiences of centuries of notation evolution.
It combines spatial representation of time, full
parametrization of all parameter scales, as well as the time model itself,
and arbitrary embedded expr
ession structures,
