## Introduction

`bach` is a semantic music notation designed to be both human and computer friendly.

Although its primary domain is music, `bach` enables the synchronization of rhythmic timelines with just about anything.

> :warning: The project is still considered experimental should **not** be used in production.

## Documentation

 - **Home**: https://codebach.tech

 - **Guide**: https://codebach.tech/#/guide

 - **Examples**: https://codebach.tech/#/examples

 - **Syntax**: https://codebach.tech/#/syntax

 - **Development**: https://codebach.tech/#/dev

 - **Contribute**: https://codebach.tech/#/contribute

Before diving into the docs, please note that `bach` is a new data format, so naturally there is limited [tooling](https://codebach.tech/#/dev?id=tools) and integration support for it today.

But whether you're an adventerous musician or a developer exploring `bach` for their project, we advise that you read our [Guide](https://codebach.tech/#/guide) page since it provides the most comphrensive overview of `bach` available.

## Example

The following `bach` data represents the loopable progression of a rock backing track.

> :musical_keyboard: Try running it in the [bach editor](https://editor.codebach.tech)!

```bach

@meter = 4|4

@tempo = 83

:A = [

  3/8 -> {

    scale('E aeolian')

    chord('Em9')

  }

  5/8 -> chord('C')

  3/8 -> chord('Em9')

  4/8 -> chord('C')

  9/8 -> chord('C/D')

]

:B = [

  3/8 -> chord('B')

  5/8 -> chord('Em9')

  1 -> chord('Em9')

]

:C = [

  3/8 -> chord('B')

  5/8 -> chord('G')

  1 -> chord('G')

]

play! [

  7 of :A

  2 of :B

  3 of [

    :C

    when !{ last? } do { :B }

  ]

  3/8 -> chord('B')

  5/8 -> chord('Em9')

  1 -> chord('B7b13')

]

```

You can find more examples of `bach` in the [Examples](https://codebach.tech/#/examples) page of the documentation.
