Examples of Graphic Notation
- Graphic scores, in which the music is represented using symbols and illustrations:
This notation may be, like music on traditional staves, a time-pitch graph system. In the above example, time is still represented by reading left-to-right.
- Line staves showing relative pitch, with the actual pitches being decided upon performance.
- Altered Notation can be seen in George Crumb's work where he uses traditional notation but presents the music on the page in a graphic or nontraditional manner such as spirals or circles.
