Score and Notation

I can't seem to find a possibility to export my last ps to xml. Under "file" I have no entry "export" to choose. What's the easiest way to copy my last preview into Sibelius? Working on Windows 11 btw

Hi. is there a way to view the generated scores when doing live coding in OM in real time in other devices like, let’s say, an iPad? Do I need a separate app in MAC to do this? I would like to generate sounds within the computer and send scores to other players at the same time. thanks a lot! Ivan

Dear Janusz and Friends, ;; I have a question about dictum and its relation with making revisions, like trying to improve the scores for better readability for real musicians. I will demonstrate with a kind of notation I use a lot in my writing. Let´s start with a motif spread through some bars. (setf time-signatures '((2 4 1) (2 4 1) (4 4 1) (2 4 1))) (omn-to-time-signature (gen-repeat 5 '(-e cs6 stacc h. c6 p<f>p long -q)) time-signatures) ;; I use the notation below (the omn result from the expression above) just to keep track of what I´m doing but... ((-e cs6 mf stacc q c6 p<f>p tie+long) (h c6) (…

I've gone through all the stages and the beginner docs, and somewhere I can't recall, it did something like: (setf my-rhythm '(3h 3h 3h 3h 3h 3h)) to get a 4/4 measure of triplet quarters. Where is this approach to tuplets documented? In a lot of cases, it will be more convenient to write out straightforward irrational rhythms this way than to use GEN-TUPLET. I'd like to see more detailed documentation if that exists.

Dear All, What means multi layout ? For multiple instrument / voices ? :group Multi :multi (:layout multi-layout :port nil :channel 2 :sound 'gm :program 0 :controllers nil :pan (pan 0) :volume 92)

Is it possible to change the color of certain individual notes as they are draw within the notation viewer, eg make a certain note red while the rest remain black? I had a good rummage in the docs but I could not find anything yet.

Dear Janusz, I´d like to have my (musicxml-to editor) function opening in Musescore 3, because I´m not yet using the version 4 because it´s not opening multiple scores at the same time. Each file is a new instance of musescore... please, can you help ? Best, Julio I have a file called SourceCodeJulio.lisp containing the following lines inside the extensions folder, under user source of the Opusmodus main folder. (defparameter *snippet-clef-default* :treble-down8) (defun last-score-to-musescore () (compile-score *last-score* :output :musicxml :file "temp-last-score") (musicxml-to-editor "temp-last-score" :application …

Hello! I’m trying to approach a (sort of) contrapuntal composition style many know from Arvo Part as Tintinntabuli. The method is generally a tonal-based approach. I didn't see anything in the forums about it so I'm hoping this post isn't a duplicate. My understanding of it is as follows: 1. In a key, say B minor, we have a melody line that could be: (Setf pitches ‘(cs3 d3 g3 e3 fs3 b3)) This would be the M-line (melody line) Underneath we would have one or more T-lines (tintinntabuli). Each would consist only of the B minor triad. The pitch of the triad in the T-line corresponds to the pitch in the …

Hi Please, can anybody help me with my code? Why do I only get a c4 played and not the whole in score like in picture right? Or do I have to use setf lh and setf rh? Kind regards, snu

How to apply different voicings over a chord progression Sometimes you have to spread the notes of a chord progression in a very specific way, specially in the case of sectional writing as in the big bands, for example, where specific voicings are used, commonly named as drop2, drop3, etc. All the voicings are based in the initial closed position: - DROP2 is obtained by dropping the 2nd voice an octave below, as shown below: - DROP3 is obtained by dropping the 3rd voice an octave below, as shown below: There are 24 types of voicings as shown in the image below. The rule is to not exceed th…

Hi, I am just wondering If is in any way possible to write into snippet chords like: Δ ou Maj7 7 m7 Ø ou min7b5 °7 6 m6 7sus4 9 m9 7#11 7#5 6/9 13 7b9 7#9 above the staff?

Is there any support for swing 8ths in Opusmodus playback ? Best ! Julio

(defun permute-by-rule (n rule row) (append (list row) (loop repeat n collect (setf row (position-filter rule row))))) ;; row => a row (or a list) ;; n => number of generations ;; rule => new position/order in every generation - keep attention it's 0-based!!! => for 12 pitches use 0 to 11 (permute-by-rule 20 '(2 0 1 5 11 3 8 6 4 9 10 7) (make-scale 'c4 12))

Hi, sorry I am missing something very basic. I would like to convert a particular pitch to a chord based on its duration. For example, if I have a omn-sequence, I would like to search for all half-notes and add to their current pitch some other pitches in order to form a chord. I have looked at map functions, but I have not found a way of adding something to the already existing pitch instead of replacing it with something completely new. Thanks! Rodrigo

Hi, This code: ((e a4 mf - - gs4 f - - g4 p - -) (-e a4 p - - gs4 - - e4 -)) is displayed like you see in the 2 screenshots, the second of the snippet notation, the first of the ps function (with :timesignature '(9 8)) Also in the xml-file are quarter-rests* written (as in the screenshots), is there a way to set the subdivision (which looks right in the code)? Thanks! *which is "ok" in the first bar, but very hard to read in the second one..

I want to write down all the scales provided in “Tonalities” for educational purposes. I begin with C major scale thus: (setf c-major '(w c4 d4 e4 f4 g4 a4 b4 c5)) and then I apply, for ex. (setf c-minor (tonality-map '(melodic-major) c-major)). Each time I call “Snippet Notation” I get different notes for the new tonality (scale). Is there a way to fix this? Thanks

I´m having a little problem with ties... (setf tierhythm '((q c5 b4 q. a4 e g4) (q db4 tie e e c4 bb3 ab4 q f4))) But, when I need only the rhythm, a get this... (omn :length tierhythm) some solution ? Best ! Julio

Dear All, I´m getting this result, using this function. Why ? It´s supposed to be 12/8... (omn-to-time-signature (length-augmentation 2 (pcs-rhythm '7-35 :rotate '(11) :omn t)) '(12 8))

It seems the `fermata` attribute would cause tempo change in MIDI output, however when combined with changing tempo in `def-score`, the restored level is the last value in the `:tempo` list, which I guess is a bug. the problem can be demonstrated by the following code snippet: (setf ns '((q a4b4d5fs5cs6 mp arp e b5 e5 q fs4g4b4d5a5 arp d5) (q c3g3d4e4b4 arp h. a5b5d6 #|fermata|#) ;; uncomment this ((leg e b2 fs3 s a3 e d4 s_h e4)) ;; the tempo starts here will be whichever is the last ((leg e b2 fs3 s a3 e d4 s_h e4)) ;; in the `:tempo' list, which is 164 ((leg e d4fs4a4 mf marc d4 e4 cs4e4gs4 marc cs4 e4 d…

Hi, Is there a setting for displaying code? I have this snippet and would like to have also a natural sign for clarity in the third bar: (c5g5) (d5f5) (e5eb5)

Hi, I'am typesetting a score, this is bar 50: #|50|# (e^h d2 a2c3 - f2c3 tie) when I rightclick snippet notation it looks like the second pict, but when I use ps bar 50 looks like in the first pict. What am I missing? found the fault myself, sorry for the noise 🙂

Dear All, I´m looking for a way to plot some graphs like these, showing 12 tone row ordering: I think that a function like this would be easy to program and adapt from the library. I don´t if there exist already something similar... It´s useful to show properties of 12 tone sets, like Tropes, simmetry relations, geometric operations. Best !

Dear Friends, Is there some way to configure the snippets without the watermark "opusmodus" in it ? Sometimes it can be useful. Best, Julio

Dear All, Simple question How to make this kind of tuplet ? (4h. 4h. 4h. 4h.) won´t work in this context... Best ! Julio

Dear All, Is there some way to play a score in "preview score" (ps) function with all 4-instruments playing (sounding), but displaying in the score just one (or just a few) chosen instruments ? This can be good for pedagogic purpose or for "debugging" a composition. Best, Julio
