Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

All of these assignments, cohesively, showed the progression of musical notation. The standard system of musical notation that most of the world understands today, is a product of many systems that have merged over time. This is an example of globality, we can see processes and products from all over the world in one package. Another side of the globality of musical notation innovations, is that every system around the world is a byproduct or a home of some aspect of another system of notation.
