<Center> <h1> The MMA Library </h1> </Center>
<P>
This document is provided as a supplement to the <em>MMA Reference
Manual</em> which lists all of the commands in the program and helpful
information which can be used to create your own "style" files. If you are a
newcomer to MMA, you
should also have a look at the <em>MMA Tutorial</em> for some "getting
started" information.
<P>
The information on these HTML pages has been generated directly
from the library files in your MMA library. Each
entry uses the filename as a header and then lists the various
defined grooves.
<P>
You should be able to use any of the grooves listed in the "STDLIB"
section in your files without
using other directives. However, if you have files in other
locations you will need to need to
explicitly load the library file(s) with a <em>Use</em> directive.
<P>
The filenames are in all lowercase. These are the actual filenames
used in the library. If you are loading files with the <em>Use</em>
directive you must use the same case (please note that
typographic case applies only to the filename---this is operating system
dependant). <em>Groove</em> commands are case-insensitive.
<P>
Following each groove description is a boxed number in the form
<B>(4)</B>. This indicates the sequence size of the groove. Next, is
a list of tracks and instrument names. This shows the first voice or
drum note defined for each track---it is quite possible that the track
uses other voices. This data is included so that you can see what
tracks are active.
<P>
The library files supplied with MMA contain embedded documentation.
The <em>-Dxh</em> and <em>-Dxl</em> MMA command line options extract the following
information from the each library file:
<UL>
<LI> The filename from the "Doc File" directive.
<LI> The file description from the "Doc Note" directive.
<LI> Each groove description: This is the optional text following a
<em>DefGroove</em> directive.
<UL>
<LI> The sequence size. This is extracted from the current groove
information and was set with the <em>SeqSize</em> directive. It is
displayed in a small box after the groove description.
<LI> A "summary" of the voices used in the groove. Note that a
different voice or MIDI note is possible for each bar in the
sequence size; however, this listing only lists the selection for
the first bar.
</UL>
</UL>
<P>If you find that you don't have some of the grooves listed below in your distribution
you need to run the program mklibdoc.py to update these docs. Not all style files are
distributed in the default MMA distribution.
