What's hard to follow? Please, critique my format verbosely. When you see 
 
[]rh  --dadada||daaaaaaa||--dadada||daaaaaaa
 
Are you unable to discern from the 'rh' or my instructions that this is the 
rhythm line, or do you not know how to read aloud "dadada daaaaaaa"? Or, having 
read it aloud, are you not able to understand the inherent correlation between 
the length of a printed word and the time delegated to its pronunciation? 
Having understood it, are you not able to see the usefulness of a formalization 
of the length of a "daaa" as corresponding to the length of its note?
 
When you see
 
[]pi  E5E5F5G5||G5F5E5D5||C5C5D5E5||E5D5D5--
 
Are you unable to discern from the 'pi' that this is a pitch line, or are you 
unable to recognize the use of scientific pitch notation, or do you refuse to 
acknowledge its existence, or refuse to understand it?
 
Are you not able to understand that a G5 and a da on top of each other 
correspond to the same point of music?
 
I thought this was funny, a while ago somebody said that my

wasn't readable. I'm curious as to whether they didn't know the lyrics of this 
classic song, the name of which is in the lyrics themselves, or if they simply 
failed to recognize them here, somehow?
 
 
 
Has anyone given me any sheet music to rescore that I haven't been able to 
score yet? Has anyone given me any part of music that cannot be accounted for 
by parallel squares with little imagination?
 
Has any of you taken a simple piece of sheet music and a GUI text editor, and 
TRIED to compose Premusic for it, to demonstrate to themselves and everyone 
else how EASY it is?
 
If not, I'll continue to hold my throne as the creator of the perfect plaintext 
premusic until a worthy challenger approaches. Sorry if I gave you the 
impression I was leaving.
 
Also, I'm flattered Malta was so intimidated by my format and bold clams that 
he felt the need to censor the name of my format in his subject line.
 
 
 
As I've said before, I do not claim to have the most quickly readable format 
for music - that would be sheet music - but I have invented a smarter way than 
all that exists to encode into a computer the information that sheet music 
contains. I look forward to the existence of programs to render Parallel Square 
Premusic in real-time into sheet music. Truly, that will be the pinnacle of 
scoring software.

  You're very wrong. I have considered all of those things. My Parallel Square 
format is perfectly vertically extensible. The examples already given show off 
the most important part of the premusic, but it is with little imagination that 
everything you mention is accounted for.
  
Greetings (it's not clear to me what your name is) -
 
I still don't see that your system of notation (which I find hard to follow) 
can quickly convey as much information about the music as traditional 
notations, to someone familiar with either or both systems of notation.
 
I do not see the advantage of your system to the musician trying to create 
music.
 
All the best,
 
Ralph
