54 // You may or may not need to change some items in this section
56 // The values given as examples are the default values that Mup uses
57 // if you don't specify anything for them
59 // time signature. Can be cut, com,
60 // or two numbers with a / between them
63 // key signature. Value is a number from 0 to 7
64 // followed by # or & for number of sharps or flats.
67 // how many staffs. Can be a number from 1 to 40
70 // clef. Can be treble, treble8, 8treble, frenchviolin,
71 // soprano, mezzosoprano, alto, tenor, baritone, or bass
74 // Note: there are many more parameters that can be set,
75 // but they are not included in this simple template.
76 // There are parameters to set margins, control how things
77 // are laid out on the page, transpositions value, font and size
78 // for text and lyrics, etc
81 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
82 // You can set some parameters for specific staffs,
83 // to override the score-wide parameters. For example,
84 // if you specify staffs = 2 in the score-wide parameters above,
85 // and want to use bass clef on staff 2, even though the score-wide

92 // music input starts here
96 // For each measure, you enter one line of input for each staff,
97 // then indicate what kind of barline to print.
98 // The following specifies that staff 1 contains a measure of rest
99 // and that an ordinary bar line is to be used at the end of the measure.
104 // Usually, a measure of input for one staff consists of one or more chords
105 // Each chord is specified by
106 // time_value notes ;
107 // where time_value is something like
108 // 4 for a quarter note
109 // 8 for an eighth note
110 // 4. for a dotted-quarter note
111 // etc and notes is a list of one or more notes, specified as a pitch from
112 // a to g, optionally followed by an accidental (#, &, x, &&, or n for sharp,
113 // flat, double sharp, double flat, or natural respectively).
119 // (Spaces are optional, you can put them in if you want, but don't have to)
121 // So a complete measure might look something like:
125 // If you want a note in a different octave than the default octave
126 // (the octave from middle-C up for treble clef,
127 // or the octave below middle-C for bass clef),
128 // you can add a + for each octave to go up or - for each octave to go down.
130 // 1: c+; gc+e+; a&-; f#---;
132 // There are many other things you can specify, such as ties, slurs, grace
133 // notes, etc, and there are also many shortcuts you can use to save typing.
134 // Consult the Mup documentation for more details.
