Adagio is an easy-to-use, non-procedural notation language for musical scores. Instead of using a graphical music editor, the score author writes commands that specify each note and its position or duration.
The .gio file stores these Adagio score commands as text. Nyquist uses the score to generate or process sound as part of its music and audio work, so the file is a source score rather than an audio recording.
Nyquist is available on multiple platforms. The Adagio format is primarily associated with Nyquist and is not a general-purpose audio interchange format.
Open the .gio file with Nyquist to interpret the Adagio score and use it in a Nyquist project. Because the file is text-based, it can also be viewed in a plain-text editor, although an editor will not play or render the score.
A .gio file is a score description, not an audio file, so it is not normally converted directly with a general file converter. Open it in Nyquist and use Nyquist's available sound-rendering or export functions to create the required audio output.
