Something very similar is already available and it&#x27;s called ABC Notation: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;abcnotation.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;abcnotation.com&#x2F;</a>. There are tons of contributors for this. People have wrote about half million tunes in ABC. I would suggest OP creates cross-compiler from ABC to Alda. Or may be make Alda backward compatible with ABC. Or may be just contribute to ABC :).
