ROUTE SCORE

TERMINOLOGY CONFLICT

The source uses both NODE and NOTE for a point where something happens.

Preserve both terms.

NODE / NOTE

A point containing:

• an instruction;
• a stop;
• a key view;
• an audio event;
• a physical action;
• re-synchronisation.

LINE TO WALK

The stretch between fixed points. It may contain movement, silence, ambient sound, digestion and changing tempo.

CROSSROAD

A risky point where the walker may take the wrong direction. The instruction must be unmistakable.

ANCHOR

A clear physical object or event used to locate and re-synchronise the walker.

Recommended larger anchors: approximately every 60–90 seconds.
