Computing | Guido /gwee'do/ or /khwee'do/Without qualification, Guido van Rossum (author of Python). Note that Guido answers to English /gwee'do/ but in Dutch it's /khwee'do/. Source: Jargon File. |
Literature | Guido surnamed the Savage (in Orlando Furioso), son of Constantia and Amon, therefore younger brother of Rinaldo. He was also Astolpho's kinsman. Being wrecked on the coast of the Amazons, he was doomed to fight their ten male champions. He slew them all, and was then compelled to marry ten of the Amazons. He made his escape with Aleria, his favourite wife, and joined the army of Charlemagne. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
See also GNU LilyPond. The primary difference between the two systems (which superficially are very similar) is that GUIDO is designed to represent music in a logical format (with the ability to render to sheet music), whereas Lilypond is more narrowly focused on typesetting sheet music.
