Abstract
A Labanotation (LN) reader infers movement from a score. Leg and arm gestures are extracted by combining the direction symbols with their location on the staff. The subsequent gestures of particular limbs define the movement. This information has to be transformed to the reader's own body and egocentric perspective. This is merely a vignette of what happens when a score is transformed to movement via the reader's or the dancer's body. Clearly, several other features that have to be considered in defining the entire process of encoding LN. However, the main issue here is that reconstructing movement by reading a notation score is a cognitive process.
