GUIDO Music Notation Language

a new format is GUIDO . You can try online how GUIDO code looks as graphic.

The main design principles are the use of ascii and extensibility. The notation of the single elements resembles to TeX.

Three levels of GUIDO are planned:

• Basic GUIDO is defined and stable. It contains basic notation elements which is far beyond MIDI.
• Advanced GUIDO (inofficial draft) is unfinished. It defines further symbol classes that are used in common music notation.
• Extended GUIDO is planned for unusual topics like microtonal music.

The three levels build on each other. Basic GUIDO is part of Advanced GUIDO which is part of Extended GUIDO itself.

Libraries in C and Java are planed to spread the GUIDO format.
