Notation

Figurine algebraic notation Figurine algebraic notation (or FAN) is a widely used variation of algebraic notation which substitutes a piece symbol for the letter representing a piece, for example: ♞c6 in place of Nc6.

Modified Stave Notation main Modified Stave Notation (MSN) is an alternative way of notating music for people who cannot easily read ordinary musical notation even if it is enlarged.

Music notation on computer main Many computer programs have been developed for creating music notation (called scorewriters or music notation software).

Normalized scientific notation is often called exponential notation—although the latter term is more general and also applies when m is not restricted to the range 1 to 10 (as in engineering notation for instance) and to bases other than 10 (as in main).

Penrose graphical notation Penrose graphical notation is a diagrammatic notation which replaces the symbols for tensors with shapes, and their indices by lines and curves.

Simplified Music Notation main Simplified Music Notation is an alternative form of musical notation designed to make sight-reading easier.

The Music Notation Project (formerly known as the Music Notation Modernization Association) has a website with information on many of these notation systems.

The two notation systems most commonly used today are the Helmholtz pitch notation system and the scientific pitch notation system.

Accidentals … may or may not have been notated, but what modern notation requires would then have been perfectly apparent without notation to a singer versed in counterpoint ".

Algebraic notation" in citation Abbreviated (or short) algebraic notation generally records moves in the format "abbreviation of the piece moved – file where it moved – rank where it moved".

An en passant capture is sometimes marked with the notation "e.p." A move that places the opponent's king in check usually has the notation "+" added.

A remark on the notation: Because it is common to consider several congruence relations for different moduli at the same time, the modulus is incorporated in the notation.

Aside from the big O notation, the small o, big Omega Ω and notations are the three most often used in number theory; the small omega ω notation is never used in number theory.

As with any notation, the innermost expressions are evaluated first, but in prefix notation this "innermost-ness" can be conveyed by order rather than bracketing.

Because of this, Lisp (see below) and related programming languages define their entire syntax in terms of prefix notation (and others use postfix notation).

Big O notation is a mathematical notation that describes the limiting behavior of a function when the argument tends towards a particular value or infinity.

Bilinear Music Notation: A New Notation System for the Modern Musician.

Chromatic staff notations Over the past three centuries, hundreds of music notation systems have been proposed as alternatives to traditional western music notation.

Cycle notation This alternative notation describes the effect of repeatedly applying the permutation, thought of as a function from a set onto itself.

Decimal notation often refers to a base 10 positional notation such as the Hindu-Arabic numeral system or rod calculus ; Lam Lay Yong & Ang Tian Se (2004) Fleeting Footsteps.
