Representation: **ordo¶
Humdrum Representation for Sequential Order¶
REPRESENTATION¶
**ordo – sequential order of events representation
DESCRIPTION¶
The **ordo representation consists of a set of numerical values indicating the order of events. An **ordo spine simply encodes a series of ascending integers marking the succession of events:
**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.
SIGNIFIERS¶
The following table summarizes the **ordo mappings of signifiers and signifieds.
