Dear All, I think there is a much needed basic function in Opusmodus: a function to perform diatonic transposition, like (pitch-transpose-to-set (1) '(c4 d4 e4) :set '(c4 major)) result: (d4 e4 f4) (pitch-transpose-to-set (2) '(c4 d4 e4) :set '(c4 major)) result: (e4 f4 g4) (pitch-transpose-to-set (1) '(c4 d4 e4) :set '(d4 major)) result: (cs4 e4 fs4) (pitch-transpose-to-set (2) '(c4 d4 e4) :set '(cs4 whole-tone) :round up) result: (cs4 ds4 f4) It could be also have the possibility of being octave independent in relation to the set, like (pitch-transpose-to-set (1) '(c2 d6 e5) :set '(c4 major) :octave-free t) result: (d2 e6 f5) Actually, the diatonic transposition (or transposition by any other set) is a more sophisticated thing than the simple transposition. And I think that is an essential function for music. I know that is possible to make it via tonality-map but I miss a more easier way to apply the idea over existing material. Best ! P.S. If this function already exist, please let me know.

Maybe this could be better addressed with AI. Actually, tonality is a very complex endeavour, a very idiomatic system. A melody can assume multiple functions. I like to think it as a system of scales with 9 different degrees or modal stations. Transposing this stations through the 12 keys is enough to get all the progressions of the common practice and jazz, a sort of George Russell stuff. Some time ago I build an Opusmodus library with chords, but after I realised that would be easier to just midi input the chords I like and process the voicings with the drop-voicing function I helped Janusz to create. Each composition have some unique and handmade stuff. For me, that part is the choice of pitches and underlying harmony. I have my sensibility based in years of hearing and playing. Probably the AI will bring some ease to the process, but as humans, we need time to grasp and really internalize the material. The same occur with Opusmodus output, that sometimes brings more material than we can deal with, in the process of building a piece. Part of the problem is also dealing with form and the cognitive aspect of the information flow. Best, Julio

Dear Cliff, I finished the book in October 2022. Now, it´s in the revision and translation stage, according to Marco and Janusz. Looking forward ! The plan is to release in the same publishing house of the first Opusmodus book. All the best ! Thanks for the interest.

Thanks, Stephane !! Is there some documentation about it ? Very good to know. Best, Julio

Dear friends, I got the result (z^w c2 z^h c4 q g5 g5 z^h d4 q g5 g5) in this operation, using André´s function. What is the meaning of z and ^ in the OMN language ? THanks, best, Julio

Thanks, Janusz There is a lot of impact of using this in the notation indeed, specially when editing for the publishing work. The example provided in the beginning of this post is about this. I´ll try to make a function or use search/replace in order to do this .

There is any form to aply the :merge-ties only to a selected range of lengths ? (only in longer notes, for example ?). The time signature is irrelevant in this case, only to separate the lists... Best Thanks

Dear All, Still trying to deal with this... Help is appreciated. Thanks ;;; Question How to use DICTUM to filter the use of omn-to-time-signature ? ;;; MAterial (setf vl1 '((-s) (e. gs4 s as4 h. e4 tie) (h e4 d4 tie) (q d4 e ds4 s fs4 hs b4 tie) (h b4 s gs4 g4 a4 qs c5 tie) (q c5 s as4 e a4 cs4 e. d4 d4 s) (w g4 tie) (q g4 h. d5) (e b4 s g4 h.s f4 tie) (q f4 s ds4 e4 f4 hs fs4) (s c5 e as4 ds5 e. cs5 fs4 s g4 q fs4 tie) (w fs4) (h. g4 e gs4 s a4 d5 tie) (w d5) (s b4 g4 a4 hs s gs4 e as4 s e4 tie) (s e4 e. d4 ds4 s fs4 h b4 tie) (h. b4 q gs4 tie) (h gs4 e g4 s a4 qs c5 tie) (h. c5 s as4 a4 cs4 d4 tie) (h d4 s e e g4 e. d5))) ;;; Filter works rigth in this example: pitch transposing only long notes (dictum '((:range (h w.) :apply (pitch-transpose -24 x)) ) vl1) ;;; I´d like to aply this merge-ties nil only to the longer notes, not in the entire example. Can I use DICTUM as a filter to apply only in longer notes ? (omn-to-time-signature vl1 '((2 4 2) (4 4 1) (2 4 8) (1 4 1)) :merge-ties nil) ;;; HOW ??? ;;; This won´t work... What I missed ?

Looks perfect now, Janusz ! No more hanging notes. Best ! Julio

Dear Janusz, I experienced the hanging of notes when evaluating the Zvony Pluton file above in both of my windows computers. The notebook and the desktop. The hanging of the notes occur when pausing the notation editor. When rewinding the notation player the notes are still hanging until the cursor pass from the point where stopped. Possibly this means that some note off information is missing when the pause is pressed. All the best ! Julio The port was set to IGNORE PORTS

Yes, Janusz With other files all seems to work ok ! I did exported it from musescore. Maybe musescore export with some different header. All is ok in this beautiful Opusmodus Version ! Now the PDFs are permiting copy. The audio going to VLC player is not a problem at all. Best ! Julio

Yes, probably windows stuff. I have no problems with notation viewer and live coding player. Everything works great except the the midi player. Also 1) when navigating to the media content at the (M) button of the workspace the aiff files are launched in my system player instead of the Opusmodus Lispworks interface player. I have VLC player installed. 2) when navigating the documentation, the documents appear to be inside my FOXIT pdf reader (my favorite free reader installed). So I need to right-click and set it to read mode. Windows does not have a default pdf reader when system is installed. Do you recommend some reader. Actually I like the appearance of FOXIT reader + Opusmodus but I have to change to read mode every time I need to copy code from the docs. Best, Julio

Dear, Janusz Unfortunately, It´s still hanging after the update. I don´t know why... It hangs even with the internal sounds. Probably needs a command to reset all notes when "pause" is pressed in the player. Try controller 123 (all notes off) and also individual note off as well (for more recent VST instruments) for sending individual "note off's" to all 127 notes on every MIDI track and channels.

Send to your email. Thanks

I experienced hanging notes with the midi player when clicking in a MIDI file to listen. Could not stop the notes, even with all notes off command.
