FoF format

From Performous

Frets on Fire format is based on a .ini text file (containing metadata) and a MIDI file that contains the actual notes. The format supports multiple vocal/guitar/drum tracks and also lyrics.

See here for guides and tutorials.

Midi explanation can be found in FoFiX wiki here as well as INI documentation.
