Hi, I've written a short paper on different methods of notation which have evolved recently, and thought that some readers here might be interested. The paper is available at http://indigo.uk.to/~david/notes/music/notation.pdf . The primary languages discussed are Mondrian, Abc notation, Csound, and Lilypond.
Hmm, I thought Lilypond was just software for producing very good quality traditional Western music notation. It's a different method?
Oh, sorry, I read your "different methods of notation" as different forms of music notation - IOW, something different from traditional Western music notation. Csound's a programming language, I guess that could be considered a form of music notation, but I'd consider that one specialized for "reading" by Csound. Like a player piano scroll is specialized for reading by a player piano.
I just don't think of them as "music notation". I'm probably too sheet-music oriented.
