OBOL Documentation

How to structure songs in OBOL format for Music Notes.

Core Concepts

  • OBOL is section-based and bar-oriented.
  • Bars contain beat slots and chord tokens.
  • Meter controls beat-slot count (for example 4/4, 3/4, 6/8).

Example


{Key: F}
{BPM: 125}
{Time: 3/4}

{Verse}
R: Dm
1: အကြင် - နာ
R: F
1: လွှမ်းတဲ့
R: G
1: ညှို့အနမ်းလေး
R: C
1: တစ်ရာ

Tips

  1. Use consistent section names like Verse, Chorus, Bridge.
  2. Keep bar separators (|) balanced and explicit.
  3. Define meter early unless section-level overrides are required.
