Balenese Gamelan Rhythms

A huge library of notated gamelan scores. (Note these scores are in traditional notation, so specific pitches are not represented.  Instead, they are represented by a number that indicates the position in the allocated scale. They describe a combinatoric progression through a melody, and so the name of the melody determines the actual pitches)
