+@section Contemporary music
+
+From the beginning of the 20th Century there has been a massive
+expansion of compositional style and technique. New harmonic
+and rhythmic developments, an expansion of the pitch spectrum
+and the development of a wide range of new instrumental
+techniques have been accompanied by a parallel evolution and
+expansion of musical notation. The purpose of this section is
+to provide references and information relevant to working with
+these new notational techniques.
