GUIDO music notation

<h2 id="example-of-a-guido-input-file">Example of a GUIDO input file</h2>
<p>Basic GUIDO notation is similar to that of the <a href="/facts/GNU_LilyPond/AILGy6Ie">LilyPond</a> input format. Two obvious differences are the specification of octaves
and durations, as shown in the example below. Both formats are to some extent inspired by the <a href="/facts/LaTeX/c1lvjF0A">LaTeX</a> format for typesetting text.
