== The Piotr Notation system ==

Hello Piotr,

I wanted to explain the situation with Kite's notation system. Simply put, he is writing a book on his theory, and we are documenting it on the Wiki. We want this to be a place to document everyone's ideas, whether they are yours or Kite's, as though this were an encyclopedia. No notation is perfect, but we think if we have everything here, composers will be able to decide which one they like best!

It looks like you have some good ideas for a notation system. I am very interested to understand more what they are. Unfortunately, the way things are set up now, it is difficult to see what the '''differences''' are between yours and Kite's system. This isn't your fault, but it's because the Wiki format does not make it easy to see the difference between two pages.

But we all see you are interested in this stuff and would like to encourage you to contribute. I thought one of the following two options would work best:

1. Perhaps you simply have some suggested additions to Kite's system. If this is the case, then rather than just copying Kite's page, why not make a page called "Piotr's suggested alterations to Kite's Ups and Downs Notation System", where the '''differences''' are clearly listed. That is, rather than copying Kite's page and just changing stuff, simply writing your thoughts about which things should be different, and why. This is just to make it easier for us to understand your ideas, because right now your page looks exactly the same as Kite's page, with some minor differences, and everyone has to search side by side to try to find what they are.

2. Or, if you are interested in notation systems, why not go all the way and make a Piotr notation system? Instead of saying it's "Piotr's version of Kite's system," why not simply develop your very own system that can be exactly the way you want, designed exactly the way you like it? Of course you can use Kite's ideas or page as a starting point, but if you have some good thoughts for a notation system, then I think you should feel free to make it '''your''' system, not just a variant of Kite's! It can go in whatever direction you like.

Believe me, nobody's system is perfect, not Kite's, not anyone's! But I am also interested in designing a notation system, and I would be happy to work with you on this, to the extent that I have time. I created an outline for a [[KISS notation system|KISS_notation]] many years ago, but the page needs work...
