Low-level vs. high-level description

The notation-based framework will act as a concise low-level description language for the animated dance movement, providing comprehensive motion commands. To avoid constant and repetitive design of movement phrases out of low-level primitives, larger building blocks may be designed. These reusable high-level description entities will play an essential role in user interaction. Once suitably designed, they will free the user of the need to interact with symbolic language alien to the dance style of interest. However, to fine-tune the representation and to adjust nuances of a dance style, the software allows for editing of low-level movement commands.
