What does the following rebus represent?
Dso0+
The answer, as the title implies, is something musical.
Edit:
I realized the capital S was causing confusion. It doesn't matter whether it's capital or not, so I've changed it to lowercase.

$\begingroup$ @fffred If so, the meaning of "0+" is clear, but how is o=al? $\endgroup$– BaSzAtMay 18, 2016 at 14:40

$\begingroup$ @BaSzAt, I'm not sure I see any relationship between DS and 0+ ... $\endgroup$– fffredMay 18, 2016 at 14:54

Sonata in D major
(so naught(0) in D+, with D+ meaning D major)
I updated this based on a comment, but I'm still not very confident in using D+ to mean "D major".
Or
Solo (so low) in …
But if it doesn't matter whether "S" is capitalized or not, then so "so" wouldn't be as "low".

$\begingroup$ That's actually a very good idea !! Why not refine your answer with "D+" meaning "D major" thus having a sonata in D major ? $\endgroup$– fffredMay 18, 2016 at 22:08

$\begingroup$ @ffred I thought of that, too, but I don't think I've ever seen D+ to mean D major. I've see Dmaj and Dmin, D and d (using case), but D+ would be new to me. $\endgroup$ May 18, 2016 at 22:11

$\begingroup$ @ffred I updated my answer, but I've still got a note (heh) in there that I think D+ for D major is a bit odd. $\endgroup$ May 18, 2016 at 22:13

$\begingroup$ Very Very Close. I "nada" the slang term for "nothing" in mind, rather than "naught", but I will definitely accept. $\endgroup$ May 19, 2016 at 1:13

I interpreted it as
Dissonant
The first three characters can be pronounced "dee so". The zero can be interpreted as "none", and the plus sign resembles a 't'. Put those last two together phonetically to get "nunt". Saying these together, you get "dee so nunt" => Dissonant.

Is this
The lowest note, A1
Because
The 'so' in Dso is the perfect fifth. Starting on note D, A would be its perfect fifth.
Then, 0+ would be an increment of 0 to 1.

$\begingroup$ I've seen it like that, too, but I've always learned it as "so" $\endgroup$ May 18, 2016 at 17:55

I don't know if it's relevant, but if you parse it as a
chord notation,
you get
"D suspended half-diminished diminished augmented chord" (which covers every note in the chromatic scale except D#, E and C#)
So it would be a fancy name for a
