scmnote

scmnote is short for Scheme Note, which is a concept I have about making a pretty recursive lisp/scheme based music format. The format should be easy to put simple things together by hand, and easy to parse in order to make a nice graphical interface.

The basic idea is that a melody is either simply a note:

        $ cat note.sn
        c4

or it is a list of notes:

        $ cat simple.sn 
        (c4 c d d e e e# g ab a bb b c5)

or it is a group of such constructions, combined in some way, such as being played simultaneously:

        $ cat merger.sn
        (sim 
                (c4 c d d e e e g ab a bb b c5)
                (e4 e f g g a a b c5 c d d# e))
