What is notational error?
Error notation (/erə(r) nəʊteɪʃən/) is a type of linguistic notation used to notate errors. The most common use is a leading asterisk to indicate an error, however other symbols are also used, though their usage is not universal. Since EFL learners frequently produce errors, this is important.

What is music notation used for?
