Title:
- A graphics editor for labanotation

Abstract:
There is a need for a simple mechanized way to design, update and produce final copies of scores of Labanotation, a symbolic, graphical language for the recording of body movement used by choreographers, anthropologists, psychologists and therapists. This paper discusses the design and implementation of a machine-independent data structure for Labanotation and its application in an interactive storage, retrieval and editing system.
