Abcl: Abc music notation with rich chord support (Short Paper) Almeida, José João music Abc music notation domain specific language It is well known the relevance of accompany chords but there is a lack of tools capable of automatically generating sound from them. In this paper we describe a domain specific language (Abcl) aimed to be a prototyping environment for new experimental music operators. Currently Abcl: (1) adds support for accompany chords (chordmode, instruments, chord-lines); (2) adds clearer support for percussion (drums, drum-machine) (3) adds a support for variables and functions. Abcl tool is a syntactic-preprocessor that produces Abc. The DSLToolkit, used to create Abcl, is also briefly presented and discussed in the paper.
