1=============================== Score Input Language ===========================
2
3Score input commands consist of a sequence of control commands and notes,
4or rests, in the form of ASCII strings.
5
6Control Commands:
7-----------------
8
9!score = n make 'n' the current score and display it
10!clear n clear score 'n'
11!clear * clear all scores
12!clear $ clear the current score
13
14!goto n @ m display score at beat 'n', frame 'm'
15
16!pos = n @ m position p_cur at beat 'n', relative frame 'm'
17!beat = n position p_cur at beat 'n', relative frame 0
18!frame = n position p_cur at absolute frame 'n'
19!find l n position p_cur at the left of the chain at time 'n'
20!find r n position p_cur at the right of the chain at time 'n'
21
22!weight = n set the note weight at 'n' percent
23
24, advance p_cur by current note value
25. advance p_cur by 1 frame
26; advance p_cur to next beat
27: advance p_cur by one beat interval (192 frames)
28
29!group = n make 'n' the current group
30!status = on enable the current group
31!status = off disable the current group
32!inst = n select intstrument 'n' for the current group
33!trans = {+|-} n transpose the current group + or - 'n' cents
34!dyn = n set the current group dynamics value to 'n'
35!loc = n set the current group location value to 'n'
36
37!tempo = n set the tempo to 'n' beats per minute (4..240)
38!tuning = n select 'n' as the current tuning table
39!stop stop the score clock
40
41!wait wait for a CR
42!verbose enter verbose mode
43!quiet leave verbose mode
44!test enter testing mode
45!normal leave testing mode
46
47!chase display the score chain from p_cur to the end
48!show active display the active score list
49!show names display the score names
50!show sections display the sections
51!snap display the score pointers and times
52
53!end end of commands

56Notes and Rests:
57----------------
58
59Notes are specified as follows:
60
61 val [#] oct [+|-|/n]
62
63 where:
64
65 val note pitch a through g
66 oct note octave 0 through 9
67 # accidental flag
68 + note begin at current time
69 - note end at current time
70 /n note of length 1/n starting at current time
71
72
73e.g.: a#0+ start a note of pitch a0
74
75 a#0- end a note of pitch a0
76
77 c3/4 enter a 1/4 note of pitch c3
78
79 e7 enter a note of pitch e7 with the same value
80 as the previous note
81
82
83Rests are specified as follows:
84
85 r n / m
86
87 where:
88
89 n number of consecutive rests
90 m rest interval (1/m note)
91
92
93e.g.: r2/1 2 whole note resets
94
95
96Note on/off times are calculated as follows:
97
98 noteval = 192L / QQnum;
99
100 noteon = t_cur;
101
102 noteoff = t_cur + ((noteper * noteval) / 100L);
103
104where:
105
106 QQNum = note value default = 1/4 note (192/4)
107
108 noteper = note weight default = 80 percent
