'''<span style="font-size: 130%;">A word about scores</span>'''
When a piece of music is to be performed repeatedly the same way, or performed by people who weren't the originators of the piece, it helps to have a score. In the history of objectifying music, scores were the currency until they were displaced by recordings. There are many types of microtonal notation, such as [[Sagittal_notation#Scores in Sagittal notation|Sagittal notation]], [[Staff_notation|color notation]] and [[Ups_and_Downs_Notation|ups and downs notation]].
