ScoreScript, a browser for writing music as text
A browser-based music language tool that turns readable ScoreScript source into engraved scores, playback, diagnostics, and embeddable notation.
Field notes
ScoreScript exposes a text-based music workflow with examples that progress from a single phrase to multi-part scores and twenty-four-stave arrangements. Its output layer is unusually practical: the page offers flow or page views, paper-size and margin controls, playback, SVG download, a notation URL, and HTML suitable for a README or webpage. A deliberately broken teaching example suggests that diagnostics are part of the intended workflow, although the observed page still displayed engine-loading messages.
