MML Syntax

NoteEvent

• cdefgab?(\d+)?\.*
  • note on (default: l)
  • e.g. c e-8. g16
• [ (cdefgab?|<>)+ ](\d+)?\.*
  • chord (default: l)
  • e.g. [ >g<ce ]2 [ >gb<d ]2 [ >g<ce ]1
• r(\d+)?\.*
  • rest (default: l)
  • e.g. l16 crcc crcc crccr crcc

NoteLength

• l(\d+)?\.*
  • length (default: 4)
  • e.g. l8 cc l4 e l2 g
• ^(\d+)?\.*
  • tie (default: l)
  • e.g l16 c^^ e^^ g^
• q(\d+)?
  • quantize (default: 75)
  • e.g. l16 q50 crcc crcc crcc crcc

NotePitch

• o(\d+)?
  • octave (default: 4)
  • e.g. o4 ceg o5 c
• >(\d+)?
  • octave up (default: 1)
  • e.g. ceg < c
• <(\d+)?
  • octave down (default: 1)
  • e.g. c > gec

Control

• t(\d+)?
  • tempo (default: 120)
  • e.g. t140 cdefgab<c
• v(\d+)?
  • velocity (default: 100)
  • e.g. v75 c v50 e v25 g
• $
  • infinite loop
  • e.g. l2 $ [fa<ce] [gb<d] [egb<d] [ea<c]
• /: ... | ... :/(\d+)?
  • loop (default: 2)
  • commands after | are skipped in the last loop
  • e.g. l2 /: [fa<ce] [gb<d] [egb<d] | [ea<c] :/4 [eg<c]
