Abstract
A system and method for positioning, on an electronic display, an additional musical symbol based on the location of one or more existing musical symbols can include determining one or more positional constraints on the additional musical symbol. The one or more positional constraints can include one or more preferred quantities. Each of the one or more positional constraints can be automatically defined as being either a time-based positional constraint or a space-based positional constraint. The additional symbol can be positioned in a measure of a staff at a distance away from one of the one or more existing musical symbols. The distance can be at least in part determined by at least one of the one or more preferred quantities.
