ASCII MUSICAL NOTATION
developed by Leigh Ann Hussey
with help from Shadowthought and Josh Gordon
Each line of the music consists of 4 lines of music. The time signature(s),
the lines between bars, and each note take up one column, with modifiers such
as sharps, flats, and dots extending a note up to three columns. The time
signature is written at the beginning in the obvious way. Three vertical bars
(lines 2 to 4) mark the divisions between measures. Lines 1 to 3 indicate
note durations, as follows:
1/16 1/8 1/4 1/2 dotted-1/2 1/8 1/4
note note note note note rest rest
= _
| | | | | ' %
| | | o o.
Line 4 indicates the pitch. The numbers 1 to 8 mark the octave including
middle C (A through F); 1' to 8', one octave above middle C; 1" to 8", two
octaves above middle C; '1 to '8, the octave below middle C. A number followed
by a # is a sharp; a number followed by a lower-case b is a flat. Underscores
connecting a note to the next note indicate a slur. Consider the following
examples:

From Crowley: "Note that 'shi' means rest, the absolute or male aspect of the
Deity; 'va' is energy, the manifested or female side of Deity. This mantra
represents the whole course of the Universe, from Zero through the finite back
to Zero."
