Nov 21, 2017 at 19:42 comment added jpa Yeah, I think the 1st hint means the answer should be formatted as a "melody" or "song" or similar. "X is to music like human is to humanity".
Nov 21, 2017 at 18:14 comment added JdeBP The hint is telling you that a lot of stuff qualifies as music, but only a song is sung.
Nov 21, 2017 at 0:08 comment added John Coleman @Xenocacia A hint shouldn't be a necessary datum of a riddle. Your answer strikes me as spot-on (+1), but the hint itself seems like an unrelated riddle.
Nov 20, 2017 at 23:30 comment added Xenocacia @JohnColeman: I answered this before the hint was added, and it sure does throw my guess out the window...
Nov 20, 2017 at 21:56 comment added John Coleman This makes sense of everything but the hint
Nov 20, 2017 at 21:26 comment added wchargin I like this, but "nothing but lines" is a bit of a stretch. Musical notation has many things other than lines: open and filled ellipses, clefs, curves (slurs/ties), numbers, text, various symbols (repeat-bars, code, glissandi…).
Nov 20, 2017 at 20:19 comment added EKons @RossPresser Of course, shouldn't be surprising. ;)
