A programming language for exploring and creating music
We created a language optimized for exploring and composing music. The syntax facilitates writing snippets of music. Standard library functions transform and combine these snippets, allowing the programmer to take advantage of the repetition found in many songs. The song can then be written to an audio file (WAV).
🎵#️⃣ is a modern language that provides type inference, static typing, low-overhead memory safety, and a clean, readable syntax. Users can simply concentrate on writing a great song, and let the compiler take care of the rest.

Run the install_dependencies.sh script to set up submodules, install OCaml, and install third-party libraries.
This script is maintained on Ubuntu 15.04 and OS X 10.11 El Capitan, although it will probably work on Ubuntu 14.x, OS X 10.10 Yosemite, and Debian as well.
Once you have the dependencies, just cd into the directory you want and make.
- Grab the lastest master:
git checkout master && git pull origin master - Create your branch:
git checkout -b alice_feature_name - Make some changes:
git commit ... - Squash commits:
git rebase -i master, then change everything except the first commit tosquash - Rebase on the latest master:
git checkout master && git pull origin master && git rebase master alice_feature_name - Run tests:
make test - Push for code review:
git push -f origin alice_feature_name(only use push -f on feature branches, not master)
Syntax highlighting is provided for Sublime Text. In Sublime, go to: Preferences -> Browse Packages -> User and copy the file (in style/) note-hashtag.tmLanguage into that directory.
