memol - a music description language

memol is a music description language which features:

• Well-structured
  • Essentially, a score is described as recursive compositions of two constructs: group [...] and chord (...).
• Orthogonal
  • Some musical elements like scale, chord and backing pattern can be described independently and composite them each other. with syntax enables (some of) them in a unified form. Expressions (note velocity, control change, ...) are also described separately.
• Focused on musical composition
  • Language design and implementation help trial-and-error of musical composition well (in the future). Unlike score typesetting languages, memol also focused on describing time-dependent value used for MIDI control changes, etc.

Example

score $out.0() = { (c E G) | (c E G [B C b]) (c E F A) }
