ScoreScript playground

Type the music the way it prints — what comes before a note prints before it. Every note is a node.

  The one-page card (v0.3, the node model)

  • Every note is a node. What prints before the note is written before it; what prints after, after. Before = above the staff, after = below.
    • 
      
  • Duration comes first, as a number (4Eb, 8.F) or a lowercase letter (qEb); it sticks for the rest of the line.
    • 
      
  • Octave: a number after the pitch is explicit (E5); none means the nearest octave to the previous note; ' pushes up, , down.
    • 
      
  • Chords are the only thing in brackets: 2[Eb G Bb]. Marks are the only thing in parentheses: (>.) articulations, (p) dynamics, ((p)) editorial.
    • 
      
  • Connectors draw the figure: trailing Eb< opens a crescendo, leading <D closes it at D; ~ is a slur, or a tie when the pitch repeats.
    • 
      
  • The grid: declare parts once (part flute: Flute 1, instrument first — duplicates are numbered for you), then system blocks { m1-10: with one row per part and | between bars.
    • 
      
  • & completes the dotted note before it: q.Eb &G. Brackets also hold changes and boxes: [clef bass] [meter 3/4] [instrument piccolo] [[A]] [[12]].
    • 
      
  • Lines: bare lines are measures, | splits one line into several, m1: labels are optional. A full score "…" { } needs scorescript 0.3 on top.
