The GUIDO Music Notation Format Jacobs, Pacaci, Tanoue, Yang: ISE599: 2004 1 The GUIDO Music Notation Format Group Members: Ananda Jacobs, Aaron Yang, Beran Pacaci, Carley Tanoue l Representational adequacy: "Simple things have simple representations." The GUIDO Introduction l first introduced in 1998 as a novel approach for adequately representing almost any kind of score- level music. l named after Guido d'Arezzo (990-1050), a renowned music theorist of his time. l realized as a plain-text, human-readable and platform independent format. l based on a simple, yet powerful and easily extensible formalism. l can be completely embedded within XML using GUIDOXML.
