Notes
In theory the use of notes is pretty straight forward in CL notation. To play a c, you can simply use the letter c. If you want it to be followed by a g, write cg. To determine the length of a note, simply put a number between 1 and 9 right after it, the default value here is 2, so c equals c2.
Pauses
While notes are extremely important, pauses are almost as valuable and very much underated. Well placed pauses can provide structure for a whole piece or a short rhythm and create tension and release (a very good formula for writing music by the way). As an example have a listen at the first seconds of |For Those Who Departed Forever by Bingro.
@70([%6\d]8%6[=d]p[/d]p[=f]p[=a]2p8p)2([\g]8[=d]p[/d]p[=g]p[=b.]2p8p)2
You can use pauses in the same way as notes by using the character p and a length with 2 being the default if no length is set.
