Guidolib implements a new way to encode and typeset music on computer. The common, most ubuiquitous way is MusicXML. It is the XML schema that is hardly readable for humans. Guidolib takes an alternative approach, and represents music notation in a way very similar to a computer program. It is easily readable and writable by humans. http://guidolib.sourceforge.net/ PR: 221838 Approved by: tcberner (mentor) Differential Revision: D13705

The Guido Engine Library is a generic, portable library and API for the
|
|
graphical rendering of musical scores. The library is based on the GUIDO
|
|
Music Notation Format as the underlying data format. It takes account of
|
|
the conventional music notation system and should be flexible enough to
|
|
include any graphical sign and musical information if necessary.
|
|
|
|
The GUIDO Music Notation Format [GMN] is a formal language for score level
|
|
music representation. It is a plain-text, i.e. readable and platform
|
|
independent format capable of representing all information contained in
|
|
conventional musical scores. The basic GUIDO Format is very flexible and can
|
|
be easily extended and adapted to capture a wide variety of musical features
|
|
beyond conventional musical notation (CMN). The GUIDO design is strongly
|
|
influenced by the objective to facilitate an adequate representation of musical
|
|
material, from tiny motives up to complex symphonic scores. GUIDO is a general
|
|
purpose musical notation format; the intended range of application includes
|
|
notation software, compositional and analytical systems and tools, performance
|
|
systems, and large musical databases. It is powerful, flexible, easily
|
|
portable, and human readable.
