ASCII music notation languages
Adding to what has been said before, I am aware of the following Ascii
music notation systems:
Music-V family score notation, e.g. CMusic, Music-11, CSound (kind of
"score assemblers")
SCORE language by Leland Smith: ASCII input to Music-V family
SCORE music notation package on the IBM-PC by L. Smith and Perry
Devine
SCORE-11: Port of SCORE to the PDP-11 by A. Brinkman/Eastman: Input to
Music-11 and CSound
CScore by B. Vercoe/MIT: Input to CSound/Music-11
Adadio from the CMU Toolkit (adding to what Dean Rubine said in #43,
the CMU Toolkit is also available for the Atari, from the CDP/York)
Interface programs:
Midirecord & Midiplay by Andrew Bentley/Nottingham. Midirecord
converts Midi to Music-11/CSound; Midiplay plays Music-11/CSound to
Midi. Available from the CDP/York or probably from Andrew
(Andrew_Bentley@uk.ac.nott.ccc.vme (Janet))
S11input by Stefan Kohler and myself: Graphical/Midi front-end for
SCORE and Music-11/CSound on the Atari. (Available from the CDP/York
or from us).
To Mark Gresham's request for a stand-alone program to play SCORE to
Midi (#45): SCORE files can be translated by Score-11 to Music-11, and
then played by A. Bentley's Midiplay. So currently with a PDP-11 and
an Atari you can do the trick. A port of Score-11 to the Atari is
promised...

I'm interested in those 1700 Chinese folk songs. Please send me information
when they become free. Advance thanks.
All the best,

Finale, by Coda, is the most powerful music transcription program on the
market. Unfortunately, it is also the most expensive ($1000). You can play
on the MIDI keyboard, and Finale will convert it into a quite accurate score.
Finale is available for the Macintosh and IBM PC compatibles.
For about the same price, you can get Performer (a sequencer) and Professional
Composer (a music scoring program), both by Mark of the Unicorn, for the
Macintosh. You can play things into Performer, then use Composer to generate
the score. Composer isn't quite as powerful at transcription, but you'll get
Performer, which is a first-rate sequencer, to boot.

Yes, this has been discussed by Martin Gardner when he had his column in
SciAm, and by Douglas Hostadter when he got his hands on the space.
