Score and Notation

Dear Friends, Is there some way to automatically opening a MIDI FILE (related to the last snippet/score generated) from Opusmodus to other application (Musescore, Sibelius) ? Something similar to this solution ? last-score-to-musescore solution, but for last midi files ? Like this post ? But for midi file? Many thanks in advance ! Much needed now. Best, Julio

Is it possible to span the pedal notation over several measures with notes and rests? Thanks for help. Achim ... and how do I have to set the controllers in the def-score accordingly? Best, Achim

Dear Friends, After some time I managed to work with custom articulations, using the def-instruments folder, etc. This is working great ! No problem (thanks Janusz and Stephane for the support and tips). The question for me now is that I use to go back and forth to Opus Modus, Musescore (or Finale) and to my DAW (Bandlab) to work on sections, fine tuning notation, etc. So, in DAW or musescore, I use a setup like this: I have four instruments and more four additional staves just for articulation switching. THE QUESTION : Is there some way to export from Opusmodus as XML my score with th…

There's probably a better way to do this, but I got interested in entering my entire piano score one measure at a time... by comparison, I noticed that many of the "stages" examples had one list for each voice or staff of an entire composition with multiple measures per list. I tried working with that but found it difficult. So I played around with some Lisp. In this example I have one measure, which is a list of the rh voice 1, rh voice 2, lh voice 1, and lh voice 2. The intention is to have multiple measures in a list, so it's a little contrived at this point, but I could test my Lisp. So "unzipping" this list of measures into a list of all the measures maki…

Dear Friends, Is there some way to automatically open XML files from Opusmodus to other application (Musescore, Sibelius) ? Some code to open this (or keyword). Best, Julio

I'm reading about sound sets and I understand a lot of it. But let's say my sampler engine is loaded in Reaper at a particular MIDI port (I use Midi Pipe as a virtual cable). Where do I specify the port? Can I specify it as a name or must it be a number? Is it specified in the def-score function call?

Dear Friends, After using my guitar to make some realtime midi input I think that would be useful to have all my snippets with octave lower treble clef, like is usual on tenor parts and guitar, like this: Sometimes I do some arrangements using 11-line system, i.e., a grand staff with the c4 connecting the Bass and treble clef. Would be useful to have snippets with grand staff option (11-line system). Maybe, the clef choice could be configurable in the notation options, like here: All the best ! Julio

Hi, just a small example here about parts extraction with pitch-demix, from piano part to string quartet. Not a perfect solution but do the job in many cases and it is always possible to refine a bit the output manually. S.

Hi, Is there a function that I can call to audition the defined score? From what I have seen, the following works, but I do not need the MIDI display, just the sound: => (display-midi (compile-score 'my-score)) In the above "my-score" is the def-score I have defined. - Rangarajan

Hi, Suppose I want to send the generated music to someone else to just listen to the music, I would prefer to send it in MP3 format. Is there a way to save the generated score in MP3 format? If it is not supported, any other idea to get this done? Regards, Rangarajan

Hi folks, here's the main algorithm I've used to create my "Triptyque pour 6 instruments". https://opusmodus.com/forums/topic/1843-triptyque-pour-6-instruments/ Hope you will enjoy it like me because it was a lot of fun to do it (thanks Janusz for OM !). Stéphane gen-insieme1.opmo

Hi, pitches are only displayed as sharps, bug? (ps 'gm :bass (list '((w e1 f1 gb1 e1 f1 gb1 ab1 b1))) :time-signature '(4 4)) Achim

Hi, is it possible to set a voice of staff to a specific colour in the midi display? Achim

Hi, is there a print function for the midi display? At the moment I am using "zoom to fit" in fullscreen mode and then make a screenshot but this is a little cumbersome ... Achim

Hello! I have been trying the new MIDI Entry system. Data can be seen in Opusmodus as long as a key is pressed, but vanishes when key is released. Note values seem to stick, but not note names, attributes or volumes. My keyboard is M-Audio Keystation 88 Pro. In MIDI Monitor I can see that this keyboard does not send note off messages, but instead note on with zero value when key is released. I guess that this is normal behaviour in any keyboard. Anyway, this second note on wipes off the data that came in with the first note on. I appreciate any suggestions that might help! Best wishes, Henry

Is it possible to use display-midi in combination with? Achim

I just realized that would be great to have snippet audition and notation (Command+1) with the notation opening in separate window, like we have Evaluate and Audition and Notation - Window and in PS. Maybe not very difficult to implement, but great to have, to show to sutudents the gradual process of the compositional process, etc. Best, Julio

Dear Friends, Is there any way to include repetition boxes (ala Reich) and first and second endings in the XML output ? I have some patterns I want to repeat and maybe the repeat boxes could be great. I know that I can do it after in the notation software finetuning, but since I'm using 255 different patterns with repeats , so would be easier to have it already in the output. It's easier to copy and paste code instead of editing barlines in Musescore, Finale or Sibelius. Thanks in advance. Best, Julio

Dear friends, I managed to make my USB controller Keystation 32 to work in Opusmodus. It´s working. I press the keys and the blue notes are appearing in the score. I think that the hardware setup is properly set up. The problem is how to use this Midi Entry. The notes are appering but, in order to maintain the notes written I have to disable midi entry. When I enable it back, the new notes inputed erase the old ones. I use this small M-AUDIO keystation 32 keyboard in my desk just to input notes in notation programs. This dont have a sustain pedal attached in this tiny keyboard and no pitch wheel as well. There is some workaround or some keystr…

I am trying to write an OpusModus script to capture this Bach Chorale: http://bach-chorales.com/BWV0001_6.htm The chorale starts with a single quarter pick-up note (anacruses) and ends with a 3 beat final bar. Is there any way to capture this annotation? Thanks!

Hello, All The idea is to generate some improvised lines over the Giant Steps progression. Every time the code is evaluated, a different comping and improvisation is generated. In this first effort, the improvisation is generated by the arpeggios resultating from the voice-leading of the progression. After that, I want to code some superimpositions of other chord substitutions. This is something I came with after studying the Harmonic-Path Function ( through some example by Stephane Boussuge) I also got some Drums from Jazz Trio, by Janusz Podrazik. Below is the commented code and an mp3 showing the result. All …

Dear All, completely newbie in this field and very eager to learn! I've just watched and replicated the steps from Stephane Boussuge's video "Import Midi from Logic" to import some midi files. What I would like now is to generate variation from the input rhythm, pitch, figures, gestures given and decide locally how many of x figures and their permutations. Any tips? Thanks in advance! Best, André Hencleeday

Dear All, I'm trying to find a suitable workflow to make my choices easier. One idea was to compose over a piano reduction, for easier manipulation. Here's a way of doing that, with comments. The MIDI FILE output is like this. I did NO EDITIONS at all in Musescore.This is the video of the MIDI output. The XML output is the piano reduction. Very convenient !

Hello, I am trying to find different ways of importing partials/frames data into Opusmodus. I am currently trying to use spectral analysis to analyzes certain music/audio phenomena I haven't really seen analyzed before to adapt into my own composition process. The sounds are generally archival or things I have synthesized on the computer through software myself (in .wav format), and are usually between 1 - 5 seconds in length. Is this a good length of time to analyze the spectral data of sounds? I just wanted to understand the following information about spectral tools within Opusmodus. I really would appreciate it if anyone could help me out. …

short information about this from CT: "Currently, only the VST plugin does the pitch bend correctly, there was some reason why I did not fix the problem with the Max version, but I'll take it now. In the short term, you can also solve it by sending the pitchbend value immediately after each noteon. Pitchbend + - tritone." https://www.contimbre.com/en/ but how to how to send "the pitchbend value immediately after each noteon. Pitchbend + - tritone." ...i have no idea, i will wait for the UPDATE
