NIFF
NIFF is the first standard code for musical
notation. It has been developed by several
manufacturers, listed on the homepage of the project
leader
Prof. Alan Belkin
and finished in fall 1995.
A minor revision,
NIFF 6b
, is available as of June, 2002. This revision is
provided by Jeff Thompson, author of
Niffty
.
Additional information:
For those who implement a NIFF importer: There is a
flaw in some example files of the NIFF SDK. There
are 7 undefined shapes in rests with the length 3/16
in AFTER.NIF, 3 in WAYITIS.NIF and 1 in MANDOL.NIF.
Thanks to Cris Sion of
Sionsoft
for confirming this.
