In the 20th century, composers have greatly expanded the musical vocabulary. With this expansion, many innovations in musical notation have been tried. The book “Music Notation in the 20th century” by Kurt Stone gives a comprehensive overview (see Literature list). In general, the use of new, innovative notation makes a piece harder to understand and perform and its use should therefore be avoided. For this reason, support for contemporary notation in LilyPond is limited.
