Music notation
Native single-voice music notation. Parses a minimal ABC-style syntax (note letters with optional accidentals, durations, bar lines) and engraves it on a treble or bass clef with key signature, time signature, and a basic note / rest set (whole, half, quarter, eighth, sixteenth). Suitable for music theory teaching, melody jotting, and lecture slides; not a full engraver — chords, beams, slurs, and complex articulations will come in a follow-up.

All 9 →Classic nursery melody — single voice, treble clef.
Ascending C major scale.
A simple bluesy line over four bars.
Bass clef quarter notes outlining a I-IV-V-I.
The complete eight-bar melody in C major and 4/4, written with quarter, half and whole notes only — every bar holds exactly four beats, which the engine checks — so it doubles as a first note-reading exercise on the treble staff (E, D, C, G around the bottom of the stave).
The first six bars of the traditional round in F major and 4/4: the opening call twice, the rising answer to the half-note C, and the running eighth-note phrase. B♭ is written on every B because the engine draws the key name rather than a key signature, and each bar sums to four beats.
