THE BEAUTIFUL FORMULA LANGUAGE allows to create new compositions and to notate already existing paintings.
We are constantly working on the improvement of THE BEAUTIFUL FORMULA LANGUAGE. Please, feel free to send us your suggestion, comment or any kind of question.

SIGNS AND SYMBOLS
U UNIT
The unit defines the basic size of any kind of mark on the surface. 1 is the smallest size of a mark, 2 is twice as big, 3 is three times bigger and so forth…
Examples: 1,2,3
M METER
The meter is a fixed point with a surrounding area.
The meter is used to accomplish an equal partition of the surface.
A meter is numbered from left to right and top to bottom.
Examples: 1/4, 1/9, 1/16, 1/25
A AREA
The area surrounds the meter and is defined by the rows and columns between meters. The area and its meter have the same numbering.
Examples: 1/4, 1/9, 1/16, 1/25 & 1/4b, 1/9b, 1/16b, 1/25b
T TAKT
The takt is a fixed number of units during one single entry.
Examples: takt 2, 3, 4 & 5 (A T2, B T3, C T4, D T5)
R RHYTHMICAL MOTIVE
The rhythmical motive is a fixed sequence of units during one single entry.
Examples: 2,2,3,1 or 1,2,1,3,1,5
E ELEMENT
The element is a unique character of a unit.
Elements are named with a, b, c …
