Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
This article provides an overview of various programming languages and tools used for music creation, composition, and notation. It covers a wide range of languages including ABC notation (originally for Irish folk tunes), AC Toolbox for algorithmic composition, and presumably many other languages given the word count. The content appears to be a comprehensive reference or guide to programming languages specifically designed for musical applications, from notation to algorithmic composition tools.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledThis notation language was originally designed for transcribing Irish folk tunes, but has since evolved into a considerably richer language allowing, for example, polymetric output on multiple staves.
The AC Toolbox is a Macintosh PPC application to assist the algorithmic composition of music. A legacy version for older, 68K-based computers is also available.
This music notation format has the advantage of being extremely concise and fairly readable.
Several models for defining musical events are included.
