It rhymes with it, sure. The key difference is that the phenomenon I'm talking about comes from people who haven't taken the time to understand the problem, or they come up with "solutions" that have already been tried and found not to work. The reactionary, conversely, is simply afraid: of change, that they won't be able to learn the new thing, of not being important because they aren't the one who came up with it, of losing status gained from being an expert in the old thing, etc.

IME, that is a common 'reactionary' response. Often the problem has changed.
- mkr-hn 4y agoNotation has changed, adapted, expanded, contracted, and even spun off for different and new aspects of the problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_notation#Variations_on_staff_notation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_notation#Variations_on... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_notation#Other_systems_and_practices https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_notation#Other_systems... There are some grognards out there who hate even this, and they're way too influential in traditional music education, but notation hasn't been static and unchanging all these centuries. A lot of that resistance is from people who believe their idealized notion of their culture is superior and resist any exposure to new ideas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr3quGh7pJA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr3quGh7pJA
- vintermann 4y agoThere are solutions that have been tried and found to work very well. The American shape note system made 3 and 4 part harmony singing something the whole congregation could take part in, rather than just an elite choir. Lars Roverud's digit notation system (and the system to teach it) did a similar thing for singing in Scandinavia. They fell out of favour not because they didn't work, but because professional musicians and teachers saw it as a crutch instead of a system in its own right, and kept pushing for graduating to "real" notation.
- scrozier 4y agoShape note notation doesn't, and doesn't try to, replace traditional notation, which is what Clairnote is trying to do.
