Grame - Centre National de Création Musicale
The Guido project is an open source project that encompasses a music notation format, a score rendering engine and various music score utilities. The Guido Notation Format is a general purpose formal language for representing score-level music in a platform-independent plain text and human readable way. The format comes with various software components for music score rendering and manipulation. The main of these components is the Guido Engine, a library embedable in various platforms and using different programming languages.
The Guido engine runs on the main operating systems: Linux, MacOS, iOS, Windows, Android.
See Guido page for more information.
See Guido wiki for building instructions.
Binary distributions are available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/guidolib/files/
Travis build status:
The Guido project has been initiated in the 90s by Holger Hoos, Jürgen Kilian and Kai Renz, who designed the Guido Music Notation format and developped the core of the Guido engine. It became an open source project on 2002 at Grame initiative.
