I'd been trying to find a way to "write" the music in a way more similar to how I think about it.

from this pursuit, I've come to realize that "sheet music" is just the only technologically available way to store the music back in the day. a practice which had an entire publishing and printing industry around it; this is how composers in the 19th century made money

BUT THEN, sound recording technology made that be somewhat obsolete, and then synthesizers and computers came and made music writing notation be less and less capable of keeping up the pace of musical technology innovation.

all in all, I'm considering that what if I say that PCM is a writing and start 'handing down music' directly as 0s and 1s in at a 16 bit depth (two bytes per sample) at a 44100 samples per second?

then again that's cumbersome, so the super collider code (and everything needed to run it) IS now the 'music notation' which includes a description of the instrument as well as the song/the music. (traditional written sheet music notation does not really include a description of the instrument beyond a reference by name)

this also "turns" the music interpreter into a digital to analog converter. lol
