Noteworks is music composition software that re-imagines the
way music is created, played, and shared. Users create musical
compositions by building networks and interacting with them in
real time. Noteworks reduces the learning curve for
algorithmic-music composition, such that most individuals with
a basic knowledge of computer interaction can create original
compositions with limited instruction. Dynamic networks have
the potential to play back for hours without repeating. This
document will provide a brief summary overview of the GUI.
