Chromatone – Visual Music Language • Hacker News Board

I was expecting some sort of programming language to describe music, but this isn't that. I'm not sure what it is exactly though. Navigating the website on mobile doesn't give me a clue

Is there an easy-to-digest overview or even examples anywhere?

I see a bunch of pretty deep-dive articles, a long video, a lot of tools, but I can't see a description of how the supposed visual language works yet, or even examples. How does this system represent notes and chords over time?

browser shows this permission popup:

chromatone.center wants to control and reprogramme your MIDI devices. [Allow/Block]

off-topic: is "reprogramme" a british spelling - dont remember seeing this spelling in a long time.
