why:
There is a simple music format, called ABC. It lets you enter text
very simply in a simple ASCII format. There are numerous renderers
to convert the ascii to publishable quality postcript. See:
http://www.gre.ac.uk/~walshaw/abc/index.html
for more details.
I built a website with a perl frontend that parses out those ABC
song files, so there is a nice user interface:
http://www2.redhawk.org/irish/index.pl -- While at Tom
Christianson's Intermediate Perl course, I showed the instructor
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) the site, and he encouraged me to develop perl
modules for the ABC music archive files.
And so here I am. I propose 2 perl modules (which I have up and
running, mostly POD-ed.
Music::ABC::Song -- object oriented module to encapsulate
information for a song.
Music::ABC::Archive -- object oriented module which handled the
archive files themselves, dependent on Music::ABC::Song.
These 2 modules provide "read-only" access to ABC archive files.
There are a couple of places where I need to tighten up the error
trapping, but the modules are 95% complete.
I eventually plan to write a Music::ABC::Render module, but that
depends on an external C program, and it will have to wait :-)
