Hello Simon, Check <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_notation#Computer_musical_notation> for some. There's also CSound score files as well. I believe that it goes from ABC to CSound in descending order of human readability. If you want to register tonal music, I guess that ABC and Lilypond are probably the best choices.Whatever format you choose, there's always a compromise between expressiveness and readability. I hope it helps, Cheers, Pedro On Feb 7, 2008 2:18 PM, Simon Williams <simon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello everyone. > I would like to start storing music (as in scores) in a electronic > format.
