Chapter 1

Introduction

This document is provided as a supplement to theMmA Reference Manual which lists all of the commandsin the program and helpful information which can be used to create your own “style” files. If you are anewcomer toMmA you should also have a look at theMmA Tutorial for some “getting started” information.

The information in this manual has been generated directly from the library files included in the standarddistribution. Each section uses the filename as a header and then lists the various defined grooves.

You should be able to use any of these grooves in your files without using other directives. However, ifyou have files in non-standard locations you may need to properly set the library path in aMmaRC filewith theSetLibPath directive or by explicitly loading the library file(s) with aUse directive.

The filenames are in all lowercase. These are the actual filenames used in the library. If you are loadingfiles with theUse directive you must use the same case.1

Following each groove description is a boxed number in the form 4 . This indicates the sequence size ofthe groove. Next, is a list of tracks and instrument names. This shows the first voice or drum note definedfor each track—it is quite possible that the track uses othervoices. This data is included so that you cansee what tracks are active.

The library files supplied withMmA contain embedded documentation. The-Dx MmA command line optionextracts the following information from the each library file:

² The filename from the “Doc File” directive.

² The file description from the “Doc Note” directive.

² Each groove description: This is the optional text following aDefGroove directive.

² The sequence size. This is extracted from the current grooveinformation and was set with theSeqSize directive. It is displayed in a small box after the groove description.

² A “summary” of the voices used in the groove. Note that a different voice or MIDI note is possiblefor each bar in the sequence size; however, this listing onlylists the selection for the first bar.

1Please note that typographic case applies only to the filename (this is operating system dependant). GROOVE commandsare case-insensitive.

Standard Files

During the development ofMmA the library files have improved to the point of being quitereasonable. They never will substitute for professional players, but that never was theintention.

Still, some of the files need some help. Some, frankly, need quite a bit of help. Hope-fully, you, the intelligent user, will make them better and share the results with the evergrowingMmA community. Thank you!
