Hi Phil:

I figured a way to notate the omnibus, as you requested:

 B  C  C# C# C# C# C# C# C#     D  D#  E   E  E  E   E  E   E
 G  G  G  G# A   A# A# A# A#    A# A#  A# B  C  C# C# C# C#
 E  E   E  E   E   E   F   F# G      G  G   G   G  G  G  G# A  A#      ...  
etc.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------
 B  A#  A  G# G  F#  F  E  D#      D  C#  C   B  A# A  G# G  F#

So: 
Each column is a chord.  Right hand is above the line, left is below.  You 
can give each chord 1 beat.  Reading each column from bottom to top will 
represent the keyboard going from left to right - the same as normal sheet 
music notation.

As you can see the bass line is a continuous chromatic descent.  The right 
hand chord has only one note continuously changing at a time.  Two iterations 
of this excercise are given above: it should be clear how to continue this 
pattern.  Eventually you will end up at:

B
G
E
----
B

again.  Have fun.

Matt
