In the 20th century, composers have greatly expanded the musical vocabulary. With this expansion, many innovations in musical notation have been tried. The book by Stone (1980) gives a comprehensive overview (see Literature list). In general, the use of new, innovative notation makes a piece harder to understand and perform and its use should therefore be avoided if possible. For this reason, support for contemporary notation in LilyPond is limited.
