    Alda is a text-based music programming language and command-line tool for composing, playing, and live-coding musical scores. It functions as a MIDI composition engine that renders plain-text scores into audio output, and as a live coding environment where code entered in a read-eval-print loop produces real-time playback without restarting the interpreter. The system distinguishes itself through an event-driven playback engine that schedules timed note events, an instrument-attribute inheritance model that cascades properties like volume and tempo from global defaults to individual parts, an
