Scripted musical notation available

[Luigi Di Martino]

Hi Erik

Yes I think I get what it is you are up to now. I love it! It is definately 
a positive direction to take because it makes what can seem very daunting as 
a cool bit of fun. Life is for having fun right?!!! A dance orientated 
program for teaching maths and computor programming would help in obvious 
ways I can imagine. Beginners need to get excited.

Wish I could offer some coding jargon to make my participation here more 
valid, but I certainly offer you my best wishes at bringing this excellent 
idea to fruition. I'll hang around and hope to pick up some good tips now 
and again.

I live in Cambridge, England btw...came over here at the age of five, from 
Naples!

Lui
