Mumble is a package for converting text representations of music into
data for specific playroutines.  The format, described in this
document is a variant on the (popular?) Music Macro Language (or MML)
format.

I started writing this package so I could convert some of my older
songs (written in MML, for the NES) to a new Atari ST playroutine I
was writing.  Along the way, I realized that this was my opportunity
to make some changes to the input format, and start using a single
source for output for various playroutine targets.

This format may not be ideal for formats with more than about eight
channels, but I rarely work with more than five, anyway.
