A modern modular contour notation system designed for clarity precision and practical use
N-arrow Notation provides a clean interval-aware way to describe melodic movement using directional arrows and simple numeric markers. It is easy to learn and practical for real musical work from quick motif sketches to full melodic analysis.
The system is lightweight visually intuitive and validated against real musical data rather than academic abstractions.
