Editing Musical notation (section)

===Chromatic staff notations===
Over the past three centuries, hundreds of music notation systems have been proposed as alternatives to traditional western music notation. Many of these systems seek to improve upon traditional notation by using a "chromatic staff" in which each of the 12 pitch classes has its own unique place on the staff. An example is Jacques-Daniel Rochat's [[Dodeka music notation]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dodekamusic.com/|title=Dodeka: the fastest way to learn to play music|website=Dodeka Music}}</ref>{{sfnp|Rochat|2018}} These notation systems do not require the use of standard key signatures, accidentals, or clef signs. They also represent interval relationships more consistently and accurately than traditional notation, e.g. major 3rds appear wider than minor 3rds. Many of these systems are described and illustrated in Gardner Read's "Source Book of Proposed Music Notation Reforms".
