"BMS" means a Be-Music Source file. A file which has BMS suffix is regarded as the BMS file. 
This file format was produced by Urao Yane and NBK in 1998.and It revised sometime.
And I adopted this file format to BM98, Delight Delight Reduplication, MixWaver, nazoBMPlay and so on.
Now,anyone can use this format freely.

<Command Line>

The line begining at '#' is the command line. All the rest are ignored (use for comments). 
And this BMS file is compiled at runtime , so you can order any lines freely.
And there is no difference in the command line between using a capital letter or not.
