Key Features
A discussion of TwinNote's main characteristics and the reasoning behind them, including:

• Two types of notehead for clearer notes and intervals
  
• Compact staff for efficient use of vertical space, made possible by the two note shapes
• Staff lines a major third apart for clearer intervals
• Better key signatures, register symbols, and accidental signs
• Retains many familiar symbols from traditional notation to make it easier to learn both systems
