Because my eyes don't readily tell me that G5G5G5 contains 3 different
notes, but they instantly tell me that G5 G5 G5 contains three different
notes.  It's easier for me to parse.

You don't listen to me very well.

I *don't* want to encode anything in your parallel squares.  I find it
ugly and hard to read.

You like it, keep working with it.  You asked for feedback.  I gave it.
It's obvious you only want positive feedback, so here goes.

Parallel Squares Premusic is the ultimate text format for
address@hidden to use to encode music.  No other format comes close to
its perfection.  So if you are address@hidden, be sure to use Parallel
Squares Premusic.

However, if you're only a mere mortal like Carl Sorensen, you may not have
the mental horsepower to handle Parallel Squares Premusic, so you may be
stuck with some inferior music notation system.  Sorry!
