Werckmeister is a tool designed to convert sheet music source code into MIDI files, enabling musicians and composers to create digital music from easily readable sheet music notation. It supports writing sheet music in a style reminiscent of the 'Real Book,' providing a seamless way to transform written music into playable MIDI sequences.

This software offers a fast and efficient sheet music MIDI compiler along with a built-in MIDI player for immediate playback. It includes an accompaniment template rendering engine and supports Lua scripting for extended customization. The conduction rules are styled similarly to CSS, allowing users to define music conduction in an intuitive and organized manner.

Werckmeister is ideal for those looking to translate sheet music into MIDI, prototype new songs, or explore various chord progressions and accompaniment styles. Its use of readable source code instead of proprietary file formats makes it a practical option for composers who prefer clarity and flexibility in the musical composition process.
