Well yes, that's the simple way :) > I had written some simple conversion from a text presentation of a OctaMED > module to Haskore. Maybe you find it useful: > http://code.haskell.org/haskore/revised/core/src/Haskore/Interface/MED/Text.hs Indeed, I very well might. I have a bunch of music in OctaMED format that I'd like to extract at some point. Unfortunately somehow most of it wound up in "SFCD" compression which is apparently no longer decompressable (I read something where the original author said he lost the source). Maybe if I could find an old amiga binary of octamed and run it on an amiga emulator... I could have sworn I meant to back up the binary along with un-SFCD versions of all the songs before getting rid of the old A2000, but apparently I wasn't as organized as I thought. Oh, wait it looks like it requires an octamed to export as text... I guess I'd need to go dig into some of the standalone mod players out there. > Do you remember the AmigaBasic music demo?

Well, one way of looking at my sequencer is that it's like an IDE for a music language, where instead of text being line oriented it can be placed in arbitrary vertical positions. So it's similar to your idea above. The music language is unfortunately not directly haskell though. It's hard to get nice looking score that is also syntactically valid haskell. _______________________________________________ haskell-art mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lurk.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-art
