Pardon, I have a lot of questions about that Scrimshaw music text format. It's clever. Did you invent it, and is it specifically intended to be written to by LLMs? Is the editor/player LLM-coded as well, and was this its recommendation for a format that would be easy for LLMs to write? I'm wondering why this instead of say, asking it to write a .MOD file.
Opus invented it, and wrote the player, and the songs.
My prompts were:
> I want you to write some computer game music for me. First design simple text based format for the music and build an artifact that can play it out loud - include some example tracks in that artifact
> I am looking for music of the quality of the original secret of Monkey Island
And then later:
> Modify scrimshaw jukebox to add a copy-paste prompt that explains the music format, it should be shown at the bottom of the page below the readable instructions, the prompt should be designed to help any LLM tool compose music in the correct format. It should have a copy to clipboard button.
