MICRO TEXTURES WITH MACRO-NOTES
Mikael Laurson, Mika Kuuskankare · University of Michigan Library Repository · 2005
Viuhka is a compositional tool situated in PWGL.The system has been recently adapted in order to enhance our notation package.This paper contains a new notational short-hand, called macro-note, that can be used to realize short musical segments that have their lifespan within a macro-note.The system allows to generate various ornaments in the traditional sense, such as tremolos, trills, and arpeggios.More complex textures are possible using overlapping and recursive macro-note definitions.
