This dictionary defines most of the public interface to Common
Music. In general, dictionary entries follow the typographic format
described in section
1.2.5 of Common Lisp the Language, 2nd Edition, by Guy Steele
(1990, Digital Press). Indexed entries, literals and actual code are
shown in fixed width font. Lambda variables are
shown in italic face. In macro definitions,
metavariables (names that stand for pieces of code) are delimited by
braces {} and are shown in italic face. A
star * after a brace means zero or more occurances of its
contents. A plus + means one or more occurances of its
contents.
The typical entry also includes example code and links to related
topics. To find an entry for a specific term, see the Index of Terms located at the end of the
dictionary.
