All normalforms use completely specified notes (rests) and durations.


Simple polyphonic normalform (SPNF)

    piece = segment of sequences, i.e., an aggregate of simultaneous voices
Example: { [ c1*1/4 c1*1/4 ], [ e1*1/4 f1*1/4 ], [ g1*1/4 a1*1/4 ] }


Chord sequence normalform (CSNF)

    piece = sequence of segments, i.e., a succession of chords
