Universal notation #5

Description

@orangy

We need to establish (or find) a universal notation that is capable of denoting most of the rhythms we play.

One of the ideas is to denote each beat as a symbol (B,t or S) if it occupies the whole beat, or use square brackets if several notes occupy single beat. Like Kuku-3 would be B[tt][Bt]S, because it is 4/4, first and last notes occupy one beat, and notes in the middle are half-beat. This allows denoting triples as well, like [ttS], or even faster quadruples like [tttt] (4 notes in a beat).

We still need to denote grace notes (форшлаг), and since they are not changing the beat (they are played just before the beat), it should be prefix notation, something like ^St which means grace slap and tone in beat. A grace note followed by faster notes could be ^S[tt], etc.
