The standard music notation and the criticism this new notation receives here look to me as if we were stuck for centuries with only one programming language, C++, and nobody could change it.

Sure, it has been working fine for many years, and a die-hard fan of C++ would come up with many criticisms of anything new: No pointers? It's for beginners only. Garbage collection? I can see the programmers that created it are not very proficient. Etc. etc. etc.

And you know what? There are really great programming languages that do many things differently and also work very well, or even better than C++. They are not perfect, but the traditional way of doing things (C++ or the standard music notation) was not perfect either to begin with.

So, I hope people experiment more and more with new notations, and maybe they will improve the standard notation or even replace it someday.
