#lang music is a project that Michael Gunantra and I did for IU's P424 class. It's a music notation language inspired by MML, but instead of manipulating and concatenating strings, it's a structured language with full support for manipulating notes and bars.

It was done in Racket and outputs MIDI data. The playback routine is still a little buggy but it's a fun prototype to play with nonetheless.
