Docs: Cheat sheet

[daveyarwood]

From alda-lang/alda#210, cc: @lifeluvr @elyisgreat @jgkamat

Should be a webpage with concise examples, something like the Emmet cheat sheet.

Reference material currently available:

• September 2015 introduction/tutorial
• November 2015 overview of new features
• Alda docs

Yes! That's exactly what I envisioned! I have a busy morning but, I should
have something substantial soon.
I'm gathering data now but, I'm sure it will need additions.
I bet if we just start a .md on github contributors could take turns
editing it?

I'm still working on mastering the syntax... I figured I better learn as much about it as I can before, I write any How-To's or Cheat Sheets ;) There's nothing worse than a know-it-all that doesn't really know what the heck they're talking about but, they still talk like they do!
I'm still a little blind...so I'm not quite ready to lead yet but, it's all shaping up fast! When I know for sure how all the syntax works from first hand experience...I'll be able to write How-To articles that even children can understand it!
This really isn't that hard to 'grok' at all and, will make my job easy!
Here's a little snippet of some Bach that I put together:
piano/violin/cello: [c6eg>ceg>c<dfa>d<dgb>dg<<]*3 <c6~2>

piano/violin/cello: [c6eg>ceg>c<dfa>d<dgb>dg<<]*3

Nice! Looks like you're picking it up :)

[lifeluvr]

Weird... I thought what I pasted was different from that :
piano/violin/cello: [c6eg>ceg>c<dfa>d<gbd>g<<]*3 <c6~2>
There that looks more like it :)

More food for thought: cljs.info has a really great ClojureScript cheat sheet that makes good use of space by putting most of the info in tooltips that appear when you hover over the links.

Might be a good idea to steal for the Alda cheat sheet?

[daveyarwood]

Including this issue in the scope of #8.

I think the cheat sheet should be hosted alongside the rest of the docs at docs.alda.io.

To do this, the cheat sheet should be added to the docs folder in alda-lang/alda. The docs are kept in sync with releases and used to generate http://alda.readthedocs.io, which will be CNAMEd to docs.alda.io.

can I nab this one or is someone working on it?

[daveyarwood]

@TangibleDream It's up for grabs at this point - please feel free to nab it!
