Re: Music Playback formats.

Hi Robert,



I'm curious why you would use several new formats. Perhaps the ABC format 
would be a better option for you to use than PF?

Hello all, 
I was at the Mile High Video Conference and someone suggested I request 
information for getting formats standardized on a working group such as this
one. If there is another working group better suited for standardizing music
formats, please let me know 



I made music box that parses/converts text into midi and audio, demo 
available at https://play.circlecreativematrix.com
(https://play.circlecreativematrix.com)

it has three different formats that are used for intermediary steps: 

ProgramFormat (PF)- with parens, seen on the first text box of https://play.
circlecreativematrix.com(https://play.circlecreativematrix.com/)

KeyValueFormat (KVF) - text based key:value
(https://github.com/circlecreativematrix/converter-standard-note/blob/feature-get-variables-working/song.fornof..standard.yaml)

NoteBeatExchangeFormat (NBEF) - JSON/Yaml format of notes that the frontend 
reads 
(https://github.com/circlecreativematrix/converter-standard-note/blob/feature-get-variables-working/song.fornof.standard.output.yml)


I think ProgramFormat would make for a good intermediary step to MNX. 





What's a good way to standardize these formats so other people can use them?
 

My goal is to standardize to gain more usage.
