Extended GUIDO Notation

Extensions beyond conventional music notation (CMN)

• Generic pitch classes and tone descriptions
• Microtonal tuning systems
• Exact timing
• Abstract and hierarchical scores
• Generalized events
• User-defined tags and events
• Specialized extensions

Examples

    % generic tone descriptions, exact timing:
    sample<"marimba1",+20ct>*350ms

    % microtonal tuning:
    \alter<+12ct>( c1 d e ) \alter<+10ct>(d#)

    % abstract scores:
    [ c/4 c g g ref<"motive a">*3/4 h0/2 ]

    % hierarchical scores:
    [ c&1/4 d&/8 c& { [c&1/8 e&/8],[c&0/16 d& f e&] } f/2 ]

    % userdefined tags and events:
    cif :=  \alter<+25ct>(c)
