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.
