Project Verdi

First draft on my scheme for displaying historical data. Grid is based on years and each box indicates the length of composer's life, and is relative to any number/length in the whole system.
Horizontal rhythm is based on main typeface line-height (which is 11 px for 16 px font size).
Current scheme is covering all the main composers in Europe's Classical music from VI to VIII century.

See the whole thing and a grid attached.
