GUIDO (music notation)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

GUIDO is a file format for entering and exchanging musical notes in modern western notation , named after Guido von Arezzo . In contrast to comparable formats, it is designed to be human-readable as well as machine-readable. The first developments go back to Holger H. Hoos and Keith Hamel, later the format was continued by the SALIERI project.

GUIDO is inspired by the LaTeX syntax and is similar to the GNU LilyPond notation .

example

Opening of the Roman Catholic hymn " O Sanctissima " in GUIDO notation. 

[ \clef<"treble"> \key<"D"> \meter<"4/4">
 a1*1/2 b a/4. g/8 f#/4 g a/2 b a/4. g/8 f#/4 g
 a/2 a b c#2/4 d c#/2 b1 a/1 ]
