Well, I played with some ideas, and here's what I've got: /| | --|)--------------------|-------------//|------|------|----------|--|------- --/--4------------------|---|---|----//-|------|--<--_|----------|--|-----|- -/|------|---|---|---|--|---|---|---/---|---|--|--(--------------|--|-----|- ((,\-4---|---|---|---|--|--*|--*|---|--*|---|--|---------,*-----"---|-----|- -\|/----*|--*|--"|--"|--|--*'--*'--"|:-*'--"|--|-,*--,*.-|--,o------|-b,*"-- J -*' -*' " " " " |*- | | | | | | | | | | |__=' | | The only thing I'm really happy with is the G clef :). The rest of it is only vaguely readable, and there are some unsolvable problems (like, you can't do key signature.) I think if you must do ascii music, don't try to compress a staff into five lines. Anyway, here's a couple of G clefs for anyone that wants them. |\ . |/ |\ ------|-----------|/----- /| | ----/-|----------/|------ / _|_ / | --/-/-|-\------/-_|_----- ( ( | \ / / | \ --\-\_|)-/----\-\_|) )--- \__|_/ \__|_/ ------|-----------|------ | \| `-'
Here's what I came up with at one point. Fairly large, but the extra
room gives a lot of potential to work with.
