The upcoming release will allow you to open display-midi, display-musicxml, graphs and snippets in a separate window. For any of you using second monitor this will be great addition to your work flow. Examples: (display-midi 'score :display :window) (display-musicxml 'score :display :window) Best, Janusz

Wow that is some stellar work, I do play guitar but I mainly compose on piano will send this along to my guitar playing friends, seems like a very valuable source. I already had some new things to learn in the first few lines of your provided example so I had a productive day yesterday. I have no doubt that you're familiar with these, but for others that might be interested, I found some useful tools for PCS analysis as well as a nice explanation on the subject. https://www.fransabsil.nl/htm/toneset.htm#toneset_userguidelines https://www.mta.ca/pc-set/pc-set_new/pages/introduction/toc.html

Thanks, Janusz ! Best, Julio -
The code is not very complex but it needs to work with pitch sequence, chords (last value) and omn-form sequence. The document will explain how it all works.

Dear Janusz, EXACT !!! Looks great !! Nice touch adding the row operations inside it (p, i , r and ri). Is it too hard to code ? Best, Julio -

Let's take one example: Take a set of 12 melodic patterns, like this: (setf jazzpit (substitute-map '( (s c4 d4 e4 g4) (s c4 d4 g4 e4) (s g4 e4 c4 d4) (s c4 d4 f4 g4) (s c4 d4 g4 f4) (s g4 f4 c4 d4) (s c4 d4 g4 f4) (s g4 gb4 f4 g4) (s g4 gb4 f4 a4) (s d4 f4 g4 a4) (s a4 g4 f4 d4) (s d4 f4 g4 c5)) '(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11) '(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11))) In this way, when I evaluate the substitute map, a got exactly the justaposition of the 12 four note patters one after another, like this: If I want to have all the patterns connected by (for example) one semitone, I can MANUALLY arrange all the transpositions in a way that the connection by semitone is achieved, like this: (pitch-transpose '(0 6 2 3 11 8 9 6 5 11 10 11) jazzpit) But I have calculate this transpositions MANUALLY, one by one, figuring out, depending on the order of the patterns, wich transposition will give me the connection by semitone. Evaluating the expression above I get this: There are EXACTLY the same patterns of the example before transposed to connect to each other by semitone. THIS IS THE POINT: I can achieve it just because I know BEFOREHAND the order of the patterns. If the process of ordering the patterns is done randomly, how can I figure out the transpositions ?? I'll explain: Let's look to another example: Let's say I have exactly the same 12 patterns but with the order choosen randomly by a rnd-unique function, like this: (setf jazzpit (substitute-map '( (s c4 d4 e4 g4) (s c4 d4 g4 e4) (s g4 e4 c4 d4) (s c4 d4 f4 g4) (s c4 d4 g4 f4) (s g4 f4 c4 d4) (s c4 d4 g4 f4) (s g4 gb4 f4 g4) (s g4 gb4 f4 a4) (s d4 f4 g4 a4) (s a4 g4 f4 d4) (s d4 f4 g4 c5)) '(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11) (rnd-unique 12 '(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11)))) Now, each time I run this expression, I will get a different order of the same 12 patterns, like this: FIRST RUN: SECOND RUN ETC... In each case, the order of transpositions to make a connection between each four-note patterns by semitone could not been calculated manually because I don't know beforehand what will be the result of the expression. I would need a kind of buffer function that informs me what would be the first and last note of each pattern after the rnd-unique, so with this information, I could find a formula to map this information with the transposition sequence, in order to connect every pattern with a semitone between the its last and first note. I don't know how to antecipate the result of a random process, or to have it inside a loop of decicion making process inside Opusmodus. Please, let me know if I was clear in the explanation. Best, Julio -
What is the input (sequence) and what would be the result, Example please.

Thanks , Janusz. I was trying to find a way to implement an algorhythm to process the randomness. Depending on the random result, the transposition would be adjusted based on the last note generated. Best, Julio -
Very nice, Jordv ! I'm very interested in Harmony. Let me know about your progress in this matter. I did a book about set theory and harmony. If you play guitar, you gonna like it. It have all the possible voicings with diagrams for guitarand much more, like hexatonics, voice leading, functional harmony, etc. Here's the link https://www.melbay.com/Products/30042BCD/combinatorial-harmony-concepts-and-techniques-for-composing-and-improvising.aspx And another post related to it All the Best, Julio

Thanks Janusz for the very straightforward example! @Julio, looks like I'm in for an educational weekend! It seems like there's a lot of useful ideas in there. I am currently building a library of functional progressions, I think the ideas you're showing will be incredibly valuable for that, thanks a lot!

Hi everyone, this one should be pretty simple but I can't seem to figure it out yet. I am trying to notate this (see attachment) first bar in OM. So far I have this: (h e3c4g4e5 f3f4a4d5 z^q g4 f4 h g3d4b4 c3c4e4c5 ) Which doesn't work yet, although it's close. Additionally, I would love to use the same figured bass notation (with the brackets and everything). I know how to use the text attribute for Instruments but it seems to map everything based on white-space between the text, maybe I'm missing something? Thanks! - Jor

XML Snippet "open with" context menu option
opmo replied to JulioHerrlein's topic in forums_forum_14
First, you need to create a musicxml file from your score: (compile-score 'file-name :output :musicxml :file "file-name") Next: (musicxml-to-editor "file-name") To open the file in Finale: (musicxml-to-editor "file-name" :application "Finale") If the application name is not working you can use the identifier keyword with the bundle-identifier. For example the Sibelius 7.5 version identifier is "com.avid.Sibelius75" (musicxml-to-editor "file-name" :identifier "com.avid.Sibelius75") -
As an alternative solution, You may use Torsten Anders's preview-score function for doing what you want: SB.
-
OK understood, thanks.
-
def-score is a score which is a finished work. For ideas I suggest to create a new file with your expressions. If you like to call some of your ideas algorithmically then you need to create a def-library. You don't need to care about a time signature or key signature, all that you do on a score level and not on a snippet level.
-
Mmm so this relates back to my earlier question about libraries and storing ideas and multiple def-scores in a single document. To store an "idea" which can be viewed with a key signature in notation I have to save it as a def-score, but each composer document (.opmo) can effectively only have one idea in it, because each .opmo file uses only one def-score, as previously discussed. (I know it can have the code of an infinite number of def-scores, however only the last def-score will 'Evaluate and Audition and Notation" i.e it's not possible to highlight a def-score in a composer document as discovered in my last post) I'm confused to be honest..the whole structural thinking in Opusmodus is confusing me!
-
Snippet is just a snippet not a fragment of the score.
-
Is it possible to have a key signature with a snippet? Thanks

Please drop the file "v.aiff" into the ~/Opusmodus/Media/Audio directory. This file is a part of one of the CLM examples. soundfile: v.aiff

CLM Installation Common Lisp Music, by William Schottstaedt is a powerful sound synthesis language implemented in Lisp and C. CLM is essentially a toolbox for instrument building. Although it comes with a number of instruments ready to use, most composers use CLM to define their own instruments. For those of you that wish to dive into CLM sound synthesis system, I advise everyone to read this document carefully first. 1. Command Line Tools First you need to find out if "command line tools" are installed in your system. The C compiler is essential at the instrument compile and load time. Launch the Terminal, found in /Applications/Utilities/ To check if command line tools are installed run: xcode-select --version if installed you will see the below with the version found in your system, something like that: xcode-select version 1234 If command line tools are not installed run: xcode-select --install A software update popup window will appear that asks: “The xcode-select command requires the command line developer tools. Would you like to install the tools now?” choose to confirm this by clicking “Install”, then agree to the Terms of Service when requested. Wait for the Command Line Tools package download to complete, it’ll be about 130MB and installs fairly quickly depending on your connection speed. The installer goes away on its own when complete. Enjoy your new unix command line toolkit! 2. Load and Compile Instruments CLM system comes with a number of instruments which are a great starting point to see and hear CLM in action. Some of them are simple others are complex. Before you can run any of the instruments you must compile them first. To do that you need to open and evaluate a file "Load CLM Instrument.lisp", you will find the file in the CLM directory. This process will take a minute or so and it will create binary and dynamic library files for each of the instruments. The binary files will be saved in the bin directory and the library files will be saved in the libclm directory. After this process is completed you are ready to run the CLM Examples. If you wish to load your instruments at the startup of the app move the "Load CLM Instrument.lisp" file into the “~/Opusmodus/Extensions/“ directory. Thats all you need to do to make CLM system work in Opusmodus. Best wishes, Janusz
