**vox# -- representation of number of concurrently active voices

DESCRIPTION

The **vox# representation permits the representation of the number of notes sounding together at successive moments in time. The **vox# representation distinguishes just two types of data tokens: number-tokens, and barlines. Each **vox# number-token consists of a single integer value indicating the total number of simultaneously sounding voices.

Barlines are represented using the "common system" for barlines -- see barlines.

FILE TYPE

It is recommended that files containing predominantly **vox# data should be given names with the distinguishing `.vox' extension.

SIGNIFIERS

The following table summarizes the **vox# mappings of signifiers and signifieds.

0-9	integer values; measure numbers
=	barline; == double barline
;	pause (for barlines)
