Notatio musica
Notatio musica est quaedlibet ratio quae musicam, auribus perceptam, per inscripta signa musica effingit.

Historia Occidentalis 
Prima notatio musica in tabula cuneiforma Nippuriae Iraci circa annum 2000 a.C.n. facta invenitur.

Graecia antiqua 

Notatio musica in Graecia antiqua altitudinem et durationem, et aliquando harmoniam exprimere poterat. Adhibita est a saeculo sexto a.C.n. ad circa saeculum quartum p.C.n.; nonnullae compositiones totae et fragmenta aliarum compositionum exstant. Notatio in signis supra syllabas positis consistit. Exemplum compositions totius est epitaphium Seikilos, quod inter saecula secundum a.C.n. et primum p.C.n. tributum est. Tres hymni Mesomedis Cretis exstant in manu scripto. Hymni Delphici, ad saeculum secundum a.C.n. tributi, etiam hanc notatione utuntur, sed imperfecte conservantur. Notatio Graeciae antiquae ut videtur circa tempus Deminutionis Imperii Romani obsolescebat.

Imperium Byzantinum 

Exstans Imperii Byzantini musica est vocalis et religiosa, in monodico modalique Graeciae Antiquae et Asiae Occidentalis prae-Islamico cantu condita.

Mundus Arabicus 
Anno 1252, Safi al-Din genus notationis musicae excogitavit ubi rhythmi a signis geometricis effinguntur. Multi eruditi posteriores repraesentationes rhythmorum petiverunt evolvere graphicas geometricas. Simile systema geometrica divulgatum est anno 1987 a Kjell Gustafson, cuius ratio rhythmum effingit ut tabula graphica (Anglice: graph) duobus dimensionibus.

Europa prima 

Isidorus Hispanelsis, eruditus et theorista musicus, saeculo septimo ineunte scribens, insigniter dixit notare musicam fieri non posse.

Notatio hodierna

Alia systemata et mores

Notatio numerorum 
In multis culturis, Sinensi (jianpu vel gongche), Indonesiensi (kepatihan), et Indica (sargam) non exceptis, notatio musica praecipue consistit in numeris, litteris, vel signis vernaculis quae notas in ordine effingunt. Haec systemata coniunctim appellantur notationes numerorum (Anglice: cipher notations).
