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.
