Re: [Haskell-cafe] music-related problem

Hi Stephen, Thanks for thinking about this. The problem, though, is that notes can overlap in time. MusicXML solves this by having not just Note and Rest, but Backup and Forward which indicate the "current position" should be moved before interpreting the following data. I'm trying to make it simpler than that, by giving a note an absolute location and duration. -Mike Stephen Tetley wrote:

If you add Rest as an alternative constructor to Item you should be able to attribute Items with their duration rather than their onset position. For most processing this would simplify things.
