Musical notation ciphers use notes on a staff to encode letters and messages. Composers and cryptographers have used music to hide secret communications for centuries, from Renaissance composers to modern puzzle makers.
How it works: Each note on the musical staff is assigned a letter. By reading the notes in sequence, a hidden message can be revealed. Different mapping schemes exist, from simple alphabetical progressions to more complex key-based systems.
