Based on the Guido Music Notation format, we have developed tools for music score ”composition”, i.e. operators that take scores both as target and arguments of high level transformations, applicable for example to the time domain (e.g. cutting the head or the tail of a score) or to the structural domains (e.g. putting scores in sequence or in parallel). Providing these operations at score level is particularly convenient to express music ideas and to compose these ideas in an homogeneous representation space. However, scores level composition gives raise to a set of issues related to the music notation consistency. This paper introduces the GUIDO Music Notation format, presents the score com- position operations, the notation issues and a proposal to solve them.
