Line-Talk: Evolution of a sig

A long, long time ago, I saw some music symbols, and copied them, and
put together a music sig:
|\ |\ |\

____|/__|________@__\|__|____O______|___|___@________|__|___|________|__|__

___\|/__|___|___________|___|___________|__|___|________|__O____________|__

Some people kept saying that it was not technically correct. And of
course I told them to stick their head in the toilet. :-) Just kidding. I
asked if somebody could make it correct. So Chris King fixed it for me.
I took his correct version and re-added some of the stylistic elements
from my version, and got:

Then I decided to add a shadow effect just to see how it would look,
and I liked it, and posted it:

Then I get email from Bas Meijer <ba...@damek.kth.se> who sent in a
diddle, saying "I saw your post, and I think I have a better version of
the first symbol (whatever it's called in English). hope you like it."

Or maybe not, I was thinking, what if I make the five horizontal lines
spell out 'scarecrow', like:

Oh well, it the idea sounded better than it actually looks:

I'm no musician, nor am I an artistic genius, but I have to ask if any of Bob's bars below are parts of any known song? If so, which, and if not, do they at least sound nice when played?

Hi, Chris... I've looked at it, and the third bar (measure) has the requisite
number of beats. The tune is a 3/4, and the first note grouping is a triplet
of 3 quarter notes. That means they're played in the time of 2 quarter
notes.. Thus, there is the value of 3 quarter notes in the 3rd measure. As to
getting rid of the bar line after the time signature, why? I always put a bar
line there, myself. I don't think it's musically incorrect. In fact, it's
more musically correct to put a bar line there, I believe. A measure, or bar
of music, are the notes played between two bar lines, thus you should,
technically, have a bar line in the front of a measure, even at the beginning
of a line of music. I know, I've seen lots of people who leave the bar open at
the beginning of a line of music, and while it's not a big thing, I think it's
more technically correct to have one.
(Everyone's a critic, eh!)
Cheers!
Bill
