For each key, there must be a symbol for open and for closed, like "O" and "*". The idea is to make it readable. Open: (C#) ========= ( ( O ( O ( O O < ( ( > O O O O ) ) ) High B flat =========== * ( * ( O ( O O < ( ( > * O O O ) ) ) Low B flat ========== ( ( * ( O ( * * < ( ( * * O * * ) * ) You get the idea. - IR
