The drawback is that this notation is less compact. But, it's the best notation for teaching beginners.
I'm trying to figure out how Hummingbird notation is any better than "piano roll" notation or simply putting letters on the staff. It's definitely a cool idea (infovis-wise), but I think it needs to be user tested: standard vs. hummingbird vs. letters-on-staff vs. "piano roll"...
- bbx 14y agoI've come across Synthesia before and it's well-thought learning tool. But its major drawback is that it's only aimed at piano players. I think Hummingbird's goal is to become an alternate standard of global music notation, based on the fact that it resembles the traditional one (and actually uses it as a base). But Hummingbird also has its flaws (that I mentioned in another comment).
