Re: Question on tone table definition in IETF SIG draft-8

Hi -

Based on what I'm reading in this thread so far...

It seems to me that it would be much simpler to change
pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable's indexing to include
another index.  In musical terms, the indexes could be
{ pktcSigDevToneType, pktSigDevChordIndex, pktSigDevNoteInChord }
if you like to think of a tone as composed from a series of notes or chords.
Alternatively, if you're more comfotable with polyphonic music, you could use
{ pktcSigDevToneType, pktSigDevVoiceIndex, pktSigDevNoteInVoice }

In the first model, the duration is associated with the chord, which has some
number of notes.  In the second model, a tone is constructed from some number
of concurrent voices, each playing a sequence of notes / silence, where
duration is associated with each note.

Just a thought - it all depends on what you need to be able to represent and
what devices can actually do.
