Q: What do the shapes mean?
A: The shapes of some of the notes indicate the type of instrument ...
flute/brass : ellipse
clarinet : octagon
harp/string pizzicato : inverted ellipse (star)
string : rhombus
organ pedal : rectangle
tubular bells : tall diffuse shape
... but for some of the notes, a shape indicates the way the notes move (e.g. a special shape for a descending scale), or nothing in particular (a lot of the slow-moving chordal notes are just a diffuse ellipse shape, regardless of instrument).
