REPRESENTATION

ordo — sequential order of events representation

DESCRIPTION

**ordo 1 2 3 4 5 *- ———-

The ordo representation recognizes "common system" barlines — see barlines.

FILE TYPE

It is recommended that files containing predominantly ordo data should be given names with the distinguishing `.ord' extension.
