Line

The score is proportional, with the highest point of
the screen being the highest pitch reference, the
bottom being the lowest pitch reference. Line
thickness or size indicates dynamic (should be very
soft to very loud). Each shape indicates the
dynamics and duration of activity. Vocalists can
sing what ever they like in that shape.

Effects The voices are subject to 2 effects;
distortion: illustrated with a red frame
around the shape
reverb: illustrated with a blue frame around
the shape.

(long tail represents length of reverb.)

Percussion Subject to two modes of
playing:

loud trigger (hard stick/object)
soft trigger (soft mallet/object)

mixed means one of each. “off kilter’ circles
just mean a different type of attack
