XY Music Notation Lists Classical and Pop Scores in New Notation Project

A project called XY Music Notation which is where people share things they have built. The project lives at music.xy.dev.

The page shows a set of sample scores. Each one comes with a title, a composer or arranger, and a caption saying it shows the opening measures of the piece. A measure, also called a bar, is one small section of a score.

Several well-known classical pieces are on the list. These include Gymnopedie 1 by Erik Satie (1866 to 1925), Clair de Lune credited to Debussy, and Prelude I in C major, BWV 846, from the first book of the Well-Tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 to 1750). Beethoven is listed twice, for Fur Elise and for the first movement of the Moonlight Sonata. Mozart's Sonata in C is listed as the full first movement.

Chopin appears twice as well, with Nocturne Op. 9 No. 1 and Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 in E flat major. The list also has "River Flows In You" by Yiruma, arranged by Just Piano, and "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" in a four-voice SATB setting, credited to Sir John Stainer. SATB means soprano, alto, tenor and bass.

One entry is Coldplay's "Amsterdam", and the page says the composer is not listed. The Debussy entry also has an unclear credit line on the page. These details should be checked against the original before anyone relies on them.
