RE: Censured music from the Baroque (aka: It's the little things)
This is fascinating. External representations really do affect cognitive ease. Of course, it matters that you are used to the newer form of printing music. However, its clear that representations are often the most powerful tools that we have for advancing human capability. Mathematical notation and graphs were and are crucial for much of our advances.
Oddly enough, the "newer" form of music print that I'm used is not the modern prints... but ones from 300 years ago, which most modern musicians can't read...
... but agreed, data representation is such a big field... the way the data is presented can definitely give new insights or angles into what is essentially exactly the same raw data.
