JulioHerrlein Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Dear Friends, I´m seriously doing a composition for String Quartet now. I was procastinating it for more than one year, but now I´m really finding good results that could be part of a composition. The question is that I generate some VERY LONG (sometimes 200 bars) of material and, inside this stream I´d like to use ONE or TWO measures of this particular stream, and more 6 measures generated by other process, interpolate some Free material in between, and so on. In general, this is the expression I use to compile each voice of the quartet: vh1 (VL), vh2 (VL2), vh3 (VLA) and vh4 (Cello) (setf vh1 (make-omn :length rv1 :pitch v1 :span :pitch :velocity (length-map len-map2 rv1 :otherwise '(mf) :repeat t) :articulation (length-map len-map1 rv1 :otherwise '(ord) :repeat t))) I do my hacks before this to transform things, but essentialy, I do my 4 make-omn expressions and, after that, I do a PS expression with my STR Quartet VST template using (list vh1 vh2 vh3 vh4). Sometimes I do one or more hacks inside the PS list like pitch-transpose, length-legato to make things more cantabile, length-diminution to vary durations, etc. THE QUESTION: Is there some way to, after I assembled the list for my 4 voices, to pick specific bars or passages i like and reorder and make some assembling to other generated material ? ONE PARTICULAR PROBLEM is that each draft means 4 streams of lists ( String quartet). I´m not wanting to mix bars 1-4 of the 1st violin with bars 123-127 of cello (altought this can be desirable...). I NEED TO TAKE ENTIRE EXCERPTS CONTAINING ALL THE 4 LISTS IN SYNC. How to deal with this massive (to the eyesight) amount of data in LISP lists without getting loose ? It´s not a simple (assemble-seq) operation (I´m aware of it), but some extracting favorite parts / specific bars, maybe setting (setf) this bars as new variables to finally use as assemble-seq in a further final compiling of a movement or a section. I´m saving everything also as musescore files, but I´m avaoiding at all cost to make this manually. I´d like to test as much as possible my sections with this flexibility. Any toughts are very appreciated ! Thank you ! All the best ! Julio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opmo Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Depends on what you want to do with the generated material. Useful function: unfold, omn-dictum, find-bar, position-item, position-replace, position-swap Many functions allow you to edit selected bars: :section (numbers) (pprint-last-score) could help as well with bar numbers. Enable 'Bar Number Display' in the Preferences/Notation JulioHerrlein 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioHerrlein Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Looks great, Janusz ! The new functions omn-dictum looks great. I´m going to investigate this. Thank you ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
