The IMN is the integration of alternative methods for the notation, control and analysis of music according to the requirements and possibilities of our era; it derived from the search for improving the visual interface of music with computers and for providing a proprietary support to the predominating practice of equal distribution of notes and intervals.
The result turned into a simple yet powerful and complete interface with music, as a contemporary alternative to the conventional interface (system) for improving the notation of music in our times.
Even though the word “interface” may not be in wide use in reference to the system that we conventionally use for the notation, control and analysis of music, it is used in this paper with the intention of emphasizing the importance of a collective improvement to the whole system rather than separate improvement of any of its components.
The human-music interface comprises mental processes or musical mental operations, musical instruments note's layout and orientation, notation, nomenclature, terminology and methods of analysis, which have been summarized into notation, control and analysis in this paper.
