	# Describe the scope and purpose that a full-scale implementation of your system would have. In other words, what types of music/purposes would it be useful for, and what types of music/purposes would your system be impractical. Example purposes would be for performance, analysis, education (i.e., easy notation that does not require extensive training to learn).		# Describe the scope and purpose that a full-scale implementation of your system would have.
