Currently, a new music notation system, namely, modern notation or Sargam notation is widely used for notating Carnatic music in various books, reviews, and in academia.
In regard to Carnatic music, there were two popular notation systems, viz, the old notation and modern notation.
We propose to use Unicode standards to encode the Carnatic music notation called "Sargam" (or modern notation), and it can be considered as the first Unicode-based music representation system.
For example, in modern notation, he could transform x3 + ax2 = b2x into x2 + ax = b2.
His system, however, cannot be called a notation system as such, because no symbols were used.
In modern notation, it displays number triples x, y, and z with the property that x2 + y2 = z2.
Among his many innovations, Laban created a notation system known as Laban Movement Analysis to characterize fine shades of movements.
He also stresses the importance of music theory, noting proudly that the school teaches TTM, a turntable notation system.
The first true notation system in China was Coordination Method Dance Notation (Eng. trans. 1987), created by Wu Ji Mei and her husband, Gao Chun Lin, in the early 1980s.
The work included the most widely adopted dance notation system of the period.
