Enigma Transportable Format (ETF)

ETF is written by Phil Ferrand and is the cross platform format of Finale . You can download the official ETF documentation if you have registered at least one product from MakeMusic (Coda) . You can also find the description and a parser in the Thesis of Margaret Cahill (in PDF and Word).

Han-Wen Nienhuys' description of the ETF format is incomplete but a good starting point to understand ETF.
