Show HN: XY Music Notation
A developer has created a new isomorphic music keyboard system using base-12 notation to represent 12-TET pitch classes. The project includes a custom rendering backend built on MuseScore to help musicians learn and visualize this alternative musical structure.
Why it matters
This represents a niche innovation in music theory and digital instrument design, providing tools for musicians exploring non-traditional notation systems.
I've been playing around with a new kind of isomorphic music keyboard that uses a base-12 notation, and wanted some sheet music to learn some new music for it. The idea is to represent each note in 12-TET as a number, so N ∈ (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,X,Y).
