Please note: I'm no longer developing plain music, but am now focusing on Munola, which is similar to plain music, only more simple in definition and implementation.
Plain Music is a text format for writing music. It uses only ASCII characters, it is terse, regular, readable by humans, and easy to parse and generate for machines. For a full writeup of the format read the article here.
This repository doesn't not contain any code, but acts as a gateway for Plain Music resources.
Plain Music is usable without any specific software, you just need a text editor. Since Plain Music is a very young format, not many tools have been developed for it yet. Some suggestions for tools to be developed are:
- Parser and generator libraries
- Plain Music to standard notation converter
- MIDI to and form Plain Music converter
- MusicXML to and form Plain Music converter
Some tools are already under development:
Since Plain Music is so young the best way of contributing is to use it, and create an issue on this repository with feedback.
You can also help out by using contributing to on of the Plain Music tools - for example the Javascript library
