GUIDOLib is an application programming interface library especially created to help you create graphic renderings of musical scores.
It takes account of the conventional music notation system and should be flexible enough to include any graphical sign and musical information if necessary.
The GUIDO Music Notation Format is a formal language for score level music representation. It is a plain-text, i.e. readable and platform independent format capable of representing all information contained in conventional musical scores.
The GUIDO design is strongly influenced by the objective to facilitate an adequate representation of musical material, from tiny motives up to complex symphonic scores.
GUIDO is a general purpose musical notation format; the intended range of application includes notation software, compositional and analytical systems and tools, performance systems, and large musical databases.
