2.1 Musical Notation

You must complete this assignment by yourself.

You must submit this in an archive named "music.zip".

You must submit this in a file named "music.pdf".

In 850 words, or less, explain how musical notation is like a programming language.

I will grade this assignment to reward creativity. Each possible comparison between music and a PL is worth 1 point for the whole class. That point is divided by the number of people who write about the comparison. For example, suppose four people said, “Music is like a PL because of X”, then each would get a 1/4 point. If only one person said it, then he or she would get the point. Etc.
