Kat, Thanks very much for the assist. You're right about what people always go through before things get standardized. It was that way with electricity, telephones, televisions, video tape, for all I know they probably had the same problem with chariots.

Western music notation and concert pitch (A = 440 Hz) are really rather recent innovations in the history of music. With a standard and robust data representation for music as well, we can ensure that the most music is available to the most people regardless of the technology they use.
