The everincreasing number of new ethnomusicological publications using Western notation is testimony to its status as the preferred medium of written musical communication, despite the determined efforts of several scholars to show its inadequacies. That Western notation is inadequate for ethnomusicological purposes should require no demonstration at this late date. The whole question of notation and transcription has already been examined in detail by Hood (1971:50-122), and a number of pathways to new solutions of the transcription problem have been suggested.
