Just read a side note on Wikipedia about a supposed "boustrophedon" notation. The citation does not link to the image in question, which is an unfortunate oversight. I was curious whether this approach applied only to Rousseau's numeric notation or if it was intended to work with standard notation. I suspect his numeric notation is more vulnerable to misreading as it would be harder to jump from the end of one line to the beginning of the next.

It seems like LilyPond could theoretically support this by alternately reflecting every other system, assuming the intention is to mirror image all symbols in the right-to-left systems.

Does anyone have more details about this?
