Score and Notation

Score, def-score and instruments layout

  1. Started by JulioHerrlein,

    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))

  2. 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 🙂

  5. 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

  9. 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

  10. 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

  11. 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…

  12. 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…

  13. 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

  14. 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?

  15. 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

  16. 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.

  17. 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

    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

  25. 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
