Getting Started

Oscilla is an open-source framework for creating animated, cue-driven graphic scores that run in the browser. Scores are authored as SVG documents in Inkscape, with performance behaviour embedded directly into the graphic elements using a lightweight cue syntax. The result is a single document that is simultaneously a visual composition and an executable performance environment.

This section covers what Oscilla is, how to install it, and how to move from a blank SVG to a working score. Whether you are a composer exploring graphic notation, an improviser looking for networked coordination tools, or a performer encountering an Oscilla score for the first time, these pages will orient you within the system.
