Timesig is a work in progress esoteric language by User:upbeatsarcastic.
Premise
Timesig programs read like musical scores. The program pointer is called the BAR, the program tape is called the STAVE.
Features
The STAVE
A Timesig program can never be infinite in length.
The BAR
The BAR acts as the program pointer. It reads from left to right across the source bars, which are defined like so:
STAVE 32 | TEMPO 120 %crescendo% $|4/4 e g f# b-f|a-a c-b-a-g d b:||
Commands
Timesig has 13 commands, one for each musical note and 1 repeat for loops.
