Sent. Thanks so much for getting back to me! email is: jaw.earthmuse@yahoo.com

I have a question in to contact@composerworkshop.com regarding the course, which I've recently purchased. Hoping that is the best way to connect. Many thanks! Jim

Thank you. I was not inquiring about score-player, which has been a part of several posts here on the forum. I was inquiring about how to make 4 parts end at the same time using some form of the span function. I was trying to make something work based on the various posts in this thread. I'm so sorry.

can't seem to make that work, as I'm not yet understanding what goes where. I'm not at this level yet, but the topic has always been of such interest to me that I'm trying to jump ahead of my knowledge. Back to study I reckon, and I will continue to experiment. many thanks.

thank you! that is the SPAN function, or some other variant of it?

This is almost working ... but what am I missing in this case which will make all parts end simultaneously? (setf pattern1 (gen-repeat 3 (list '(e g3 g3 g3 g3d4 g3 g3 g3 g3eb4 g3 g3 g3 g3d4 g3) '(e bb3f4 f c4g4 bb3f4 c4g4 bb3f4))) ) (setf pattern2 (gen-repeat 2 (list '(e c4 g4 c5 d5 eb5 d5 bb4 a4 g4 bb3 c4 g4 bb4 f4 c5 d5 eb5)))) (setf pattern3 (gen-repeat 4 (list '(s d4 d4 d4 eb4 eb4 eb4 f4 f4 f4 g4 g4 g4 a4 a4 a4 bb4 bb4 bb4)))) (setf pattern4 (gen-repeat 3 (list '(q c1 d1 eb1 f1 g1 a1 bb1 e d2 eb2 ff)))) (setf tempo (mclist (gen-integer 0 10) (gen-repeat 1 1))) (def-score score1 ( :key-signature 'chromatic :time-signature '(4 4) :tempo 60 ) (inst1 :omn pattern1 :port 1 :channel 1 )) (def-score score2 ( :key-signature 'chromatic :time-signature '(4 4) :tempo 40 ) (inst2 :omn pattern2 :port 1 :channel 2 )) (def-score score3 ( :key-signature 'chromatic :time-signature '(4 4) :tempo 45 ) (inst3 :omn pattern3 :port 1 :channel 3 )) (def-score score4 ( :key-signature 'chromatic :time-signature '(4 4) :tempo 60 ) (inst4 :omn pattern4 :port 1 :channel 4 )) (progn (score-player 'score1) (score-player 'score2) (score-player 'score3) (score-player 'score4) )

This is such remarkable software. I've only begun to scratch the surface of its capabilities, as time has allowed during the demo period. It holds such promise in the generative sense, which is what I had been looking to explore, versus my current composing environment. I only hope that someday, I'll be able to afford the purchase of this incredible software. In the interim, many thanks for all of the support that you provide for it, and my best wishes for your continued success. James Anthony

Is it possible in OpusModus to run multiple tempi concurrently? For example, if I set up a string quartet, can each voice run a different tempo? eg vln 1 Q=60 vln 2 Q = 90 vla Q = 75 vc Q = 80 The objective would be to provide a simplified, more accurately performable score. Thanks so much!

thank you so much! I tried to open your corrected file, and got this error message: I got it to open. And the score notation nows shows, and the sound is properly routed to my DAW. What did you correct??? Thanks so much!

Thanks for that, Stéphane... I was choosing: "Evaluate score/Notation", so I had that right! I am an ambient music composer, and it seems that the promise of OpusModus in that regard would be very powerful ... maybe overkill? At any rate, I want to keep trying. Maybe, as you said, a lesson or so might be of some help. I'll further consider! And many thanks for your help! All the best James

yes, and thank you. I seem to be missing something fundamental here, as, when I evaluate score, no notation appears, and no sound made. Perhaps I need to go further study Opusmodus. Or, perhaps it is not for me. I have no coding background, and it just doesn't feel very intuitive to me. Which is sad. It appears to be a wonderful software. I just can't justify taking up any more of anyone's time on this.

here is screenshot

YES. ALL OF THIS WORKS WITH OTHER FILES. and as I said, I can run the script and play snippets, and see the notation ... but when I run the script to evaluate score, the script runs, and then nothing.

I can call up the notation + sound as well for snippets, and it sends to the proper port in my DAW ... but neither notation nor sound comes up when I "Evaluate Score".

I understand. That is not what I am looking to accomplish. Thank you for your help!
