In the 20th century, composers have greatly expanded the musical vocabulary. With this expansion, many innovations in musical notation have been tried. The book “Music Notation in the 20th century” by Kurt Stone gives a comprehensive overview (see Literature list).
This section describes notation that does not fit into traditional notation categories, such as pitches, tuplet beams, and articulation. For contemporary notation that fits into traditional notation categories, such as microtones, nested tuplet beams, and unusual fermatas, please see those sections of the documentation.
