> What about the readability of << >> vs. < > ?

IMO, for <c e> readability is good but for <<c e>> it is bad.

If I look syntax
   <c e>   I'll see the notes, and looking at
  <<c e>>  I'll see the angle brackets with my eyes going from
           left to right trying to focus.

It is possible to drop << >> completely away from the syntax?
<< >> looks like a tautology of nestes < >'s.

This is my suggestion for new syntax:

  simultaneous:  \< \>
  chords:        <  >
  polyphony:     < \\ >
  cresc and dim: -< -| and -> -|
  accent:        not -<

Opinios, opinions, opinions...

Greetings,

  Heikki Junes
