Thanks for the clarification, I didnt know "niente" in scores.  I think 
it might mean 'nothing' and thus 'silence'.

Among the common ones, there is also 'ppp' appearing in a score written 
by Arvo Pärt, a master of music expressing silence.

PPP stands for Point-to-Point Protocol at IETF, which is a small 
protocol in an RFC with 50 pages.

But in this score, ppp might mean 'piano pianissimo' or so.  And fff 
might mean 'forte fortissimo'(?), or some bits set in a hextet of IPv6.

(admitedly, an IETF inclination)
