Hello Joe

Colors are practical as long as they are easy to tell appart (7 different colors may be a practical maximum).

Also they stop working under disco light, which is something we suddenly dicovered. ;)

You need white lights on your "score stand".

Regards,

Hallvard

Its a really nice score. From a mathematical nature, the use of colors is fairly practical. The UPEC formulation designed by Iannis Xenakis is a big influence on my part. I use symbols as a drafting process, inbetween different versions of notation. I wish you the best of luck. If you ever wish to exchange ideas on how it works feel free to message me, but I think the nature of your scores is pretty sound as is. Looks great!

Hello again
Managed to make a score to show about what the different band members are actually playing, see below:

For convenience I also include the hand made scores they are using today.
(I have used the bandmembers names as instrument names. Petter's score looks identical to Harald's, even though they play them differently. Harald using to octaves on the keyboard, and Petter playing quart notes on his guitar)

Now, from what I have learned so far, Bjørn's score is the one that is going to be the most challenging.

Regards,
Hallvard

Hello again
I think it would be good to have colored/numbered notes for 2 reasons:
The band members can learn normal note notation.
Other musicians can substitute if needed.
But if possible it would be great to have the "all color" notation that we are using now.
(But that makes us more dependent on the "pointing assistants".)

OK, that makes things clearer. As said, *the first* option is quite simple to achieve.
Could you explain a bit more concretely how that "color box" notation works?
