score layout

A score is constructed through placing glyphs consecutively.

When notating two-handed playing, the right hand glyphs are placed on the top. The left hand glyphs are placed on the bottom.

At its simplest, this is all that this notation system needs.

This is flip-flop delay.

However, this system can be extended to incorporate more features from Western music, if desired.

Measures can be shown through larger lines. They span both hands, if two hands are notated.

Most articulations, tempo markings, time signatures, barlines, and rehearsal markings can be borrowed from Western staff notation.

Note that this is an absurdly over-the-top example. All of these are not required and can be used individually, on their own. Additionally, the flip-flop delay rhythm would likely never be notated like this in practice.

Tuplet brackets are used the same as staff notation. Here is an alternating den-den pattern, changing from sixteenth notes to triplet eigth notes.

A third line of staff notation can be placed underneath the glyph lines, to notate the sounding rhythm. This can be helpful for asalato players who have training in Western staff notation, for composers wishing to write for asalato and an instrument that uses Western sheet music, or for non-asalato players who want to study asalato music for any reason. This line is completely optional.

This is flip-flop delay again, but in 6/4 with Western staff notation.
