Thank you ! I went throughout docs, but it´s not clear enough to me. I understand that using the function "add-text-attributes" I can specify a new OMN expression attached to the notation. This is clear. But, please, I need more explanation on how to use it as a keyswitch, and how are the settings to make this text attribute trigger the keyswitches of my VLS library, (or any other). Please, can you provide some example ? Do I have also change/edit the Def-Sound_sets inside lisp files inside Def-Libraries (maybe the :omn section of these files, providing the new articulation information) ? Thanks in advance. Best, Julio

Dear Friends, In a previous post (link below) there is a great description on how to configure old vsl gig versions. There is a place where you can configure the relation between the OMN articulation command with the correspondent keyswitch. QUESTIONS: 1) Let´s say I invent a new articulation in a custom sample library, for example "nail-scrape" for indicating the violin player to scrape the string with his/her nail. In this case, I need this OMN expression to: a) apear in the score notation and b) change the corresponding keyswitch. 2) In the case of the OMN expression "long", I configured it to change to the crescendo/diminuendo long samples in VSL, but this does not appear in the notation. This is great, because I don´t need it to be specified in the notation, since the long note values are enough, I just need the keyswitch. So there is the two scenarios: 1) CASE 1: OMN change keyswitch AND appear on the score 1) CASE 1: OMN change keyswitch AND DO NOT appear on the score The articulation expression syntax is a kind of yellow/brown word in the OMN code. Only articulation related words appear as an assignable articulation for this kind of use. FINALLY, THE GREAT QUESTION: How can I create my CUSTOM articulation OMN expression, like the "nail-scrape" example, so that this articulation can be customized also as appearing or not appearing in the score ? This can be really useful for expanded techniques in special scores with special sample libraries or even with scores based on customized samples, or new instruments. All the best !

Thanks, Stephane ! It works great with combination, instead of combination 2. Best ! Julio

Thank you ! I will try it ! Best, Julio

Dear Friends, I´m interested in the 4-note combinations of the diatonic scale without repeating elements. (combination2 4 '(c3 d3 e3 f3 g3 a3 b3)) The filter-repeat and the remove-duplicates are not giving the right result. PARTIAL RESULT,,, combination2, size: 4 ((b3 b3 b3 b3) (a3 b3 b3 b3) (g3 b3 b3 b3) (f3 b3 b3 b3) (e3 b3 b3 b3) (d3 b3 b3 b3) (c3 b3 b3 b3) (b3 a3 b3 b3) (a3 a3 b3 b3) (g3 a3 b3 b3) (f3 a3 b3 b3) (e3 a3 b3 b3) (d3 a3 b3 b3) (c3 a3 b3 b3) (b3 g3 b3 b3) (a3 g3 b3 b3) (g3 g3 b3 b3) (f3 g3 b3 b3) (e3 g3 b3 b3) (d3 g3 b3 b3) (c3 g3 b3 b3) (b3 f3 b3 b3) (a3 f3 b3 b3) (g3 f3 b3 b3) (f3 f3 b3 b3) (e3 f3 b3 b3) (d3 f3 b3 b3) (c3 f3 b3 b3) (b3 e3 b3 b3) (a3 e3 b3 b3) (g3 e3 b3 b3) (f3 e3 b3 b3) (e3 e3 b3 b3) (d3 e3 b3 b3) (c3 e3 b3 b3) (b3 d3 b3 b3) (a3 d3 b3 b3) (g3 d3 b3 b3) (f3 d3 b3 b3) (e3 d3 b3 b3) (d3 d3 b3 b3) (c3 d3 b3 b3) (b3 c3 b3 b3) (a3 c3 b3 b3) (g3 c3 b3 b3) (f3 c3 b3 b3) (e3 c3 b3 b3) (d3 c3 b3 b3) (c3 c3 b3 b3) (b3 b3 a3 b3) (a3 b3 a3 b3) (g3 b3 a3 b3) (f3 b3 a3 b3) (e3 b3 a3 b3) (d3 b3 a3 b3) (c3 b3 a3 b3) (b3 a3 a3 b3) (a3 a3 a3 b3) (g3 a3 a3 b3) (f3 a3 a3 b3) (e3 a3 a3 b3) (d3 a3 a3 b3) (c3 a3 a3 b3) (b3 g3 a3 b3) (a3 g3 a3 b3) (g3 g3 a3 b3) (f3 g3 a3 b3) (e3 g3 a3 b3) (d3 g3 a3 b3) (c3 g3 a3 b3) (b3 f3 a3 b3) (a3 f3 a3 b3) I want to filter OUT the sets like ((b3 b3 b3 b3) (a3 b3 b3 b3) (g3 b3 b3 b3) (f3 b3 b3 b3) (e3 b3 b3 b3) (d3 b3 b3 b3) With one or more repeating notes.

Very nice ! Some Messiaen touch.

Thanks a lot, Janusz !! Julio

Thanks for editing the file, Janusz ! Here is some Giant Steps in 12 keys ! Best ! Julio

Thank you, Ole ! Yes, the function changed. Here is some discussion about it. Best, Julio

Here are some ideas using a jazz standard progression: Best, Julio

One of the most interesting features of Opusmodus is the Unfold function. Within this function you can define many ways to vary your starting material. Of course you will have to learn what each function can do, like pitch transpose, length, etc. But once you figure it out there are many possibilities. The DEF-UNFOLD-SET and UNFOLD function opens up a whole new set of possibilities for the composer using OPUSMODUS. It can prove a very powerful tool in defining methods (functions) from the outset, for a specific work or as a global index of your most used functions. To be able to store methods, processes and solutions and call them at anytime becomes a valuable resource for a composers workflow. This function is a companion to the DEF-UNFOLD-SET function.

Try searching the tutorial Stages in the utilities pane. Best !

Hello, Please, take a look on this: Best ! Julio

Thank you, Janusz ! Great ! Julio

A more specific example (pcs-super-sets 4 (pcs '3-1) :forte) ;; (4-1 4-2 4-2b 4-4 4-4b 4-5 4-5b 4-6) (pcs-super-sets 4 (pcs '3-1) :forte :complementary) ;; (all other 4 note sets, except 4-1 4-2 4-2b 4-4 4-4b 4-5 4-5b 4-6) Best, Julio

Dear All, Happy New Year I´m back to a lot of work with sets, subsets and supersets and I have an idea/suggestion: When evaluating this (pcs-super-sets 7 (pcs '3-1) :forte) I get this result (7-1 7-2 7-2b 7-3 7-3b 7-4 7-4b 7-5 7-5b 7-6 7-6b 7-7 7-7b 7-8 7-9 7-9b 7-10 7-10b 7-11 7-11b 7-z12 7-13 7-13b 7-14 7-14b 7-15 7-16 7-16b 7-z17 7-z18 7-z18b 7-19 7-19b 7-20 7-20b 7-21 7-21b 7-22 7-23 7-23b 7-24 7-24b 7-25 7-25b 7-26 7-26b 7-27 7-27b 7-28 7-28b 7-29 7-29b 7-30 7-30b 7-33 7-z36 7-z36b 7-z37 7-z38 7-z38b) These are all the supersets of cardinality 7 of the 3-1 set. Would be very nice in this context to have a keyword to invert the result, i.e., actually showing the excluded sets, like all the sets that ARE NOT supersets of the 3-1 set. Like inverting, like a (pcs-non-super-sets) function. I think that maybe it´s not so difficult, because the algorythm of the function already give the result, the only thing necessary is that the function return exactly the opposite result. Best, Julio

Dear Janusz, Thanks a lot ! This is great ! Exactly like my dissertation concept, expressed in thius great function ! This rocks ! All the Best. A very happy 2020 to you all ! Julio

Dear Janusz, I need a little help in the rhtyhm function: Each rhythmic set can be exppressed in different quantizations, for example. Below we have the bembé rhythm (expressed by set 7-35 in rotation 11, the diatonic scale as a rhythm) as a 12/8 and also as a 4/4 with triplets In sixteenth notes: Also we can express the same set as an augmentation of the values: And event with dotted eights as the small unit: or even in quintuplets: The question is: Is there an option ( :keyword) in the opusmodus pc-rhythm function to express the sabe set using a different value for the small unit ( i.e., 8ths, 16ths notes tuplets, etc) ? All the best ! Julio

Dear Torsten, Some of the graphs above imply the concept of parsimounious voice leading among four-note chords also, as an extension of the classic operations (P,L,R) to the domain of the tetrachords. best, Julio

Dear Janusz, This is a really cool feature I was looking for ! There is a lot of interesting transformations and graphs related to this subject, like this, compiled by my friend Ciro Visconti, who studied with Straus: THE FAMOUS "CUBE DANCE" PARSIMONIOUS TRANSFORMATIONS OF 4-NOTE CHORDS BORETZ SPIDER POWER TOWERS And so on, all related to the basic tonnetz transformations. A good idea is thinking how to model also four note structures. All the best ! Julio

Yes, like looping. Thanks. Yes, thank you.

Finally I had success !! Thank you. My old .gig VSL have the keyswitches in the C1 octave, instead of C2. I had to edit the files you provided. Best, Julio
