Figures & Tables

Figure 1

Overview of the research framework.

Figure 2

Measure‑level alignment between eight different versions of Yeominlak, in chronological order (the earliest is at the top), provided by NGC.

Figure 3

An example output generated by a model trained using the Yeominlak chronological score (Chwipunghyeong).

Figure 4

An example orchestration output generated by a model trained using the contemporary Yeominlak score (Chwipunghyeong, second measure).

Figure 5

An example of Jeongganbo in the original notion (below) and a broadly equivalent conversion to Western classical notion (above). Dashed lines are not part of either notation and are added simply to clarify the temporal alignment between the two systems.

Figure 6

Jeonggan‑like encoding position labels.
