December 3, 2025Dec 3 snippet-to-editor -> so nice!II really enjoy the workflow from OPUSMODUS to Sibelius. When you have some little ideas for material, you program a small function, experiment with it, then export/open it in SIBELIUS and continue working. Not generating full scores, but small units of material… exporting by snippet-to-editor.For example: (i could do it directly in SIBELIUS, but much easier via OPMO) ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;; binary-counting-rhythm -> counting from x to y // easy export to SIBELIUS ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;; to ensure the pattern is always the same length, the bit length for all decimal-to-binary conversions is adjusted to match the largest decimal number ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; (defun dec-to-bin-rhythm (ilist) (let ((span (find-max (mapcar 'length (decimal-to-binary ilist))))) (loop for i in (binary-rhythm span ilist 1 :type 1) collect (loop for x in i when (< x 0) append (gen-repeat (abs x) 0) else collect x)))) (setf bitseq (dec-to-bin-rhythm (gen-integer 23 1))) ;; 5-bit (snippet-to-editor (omn-to-measure (make-omn :pitch '(cs3) :length (gen-length bitseq '1/8) :velocity '(mf) :articulation '(stacc)) '(4/4))) ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;; SIBELIUS opens the file -> copy/paste to the actual score ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
December 3, 2025Dec 3 I enjoy a similar experience but with midi to ableton session view https://youtu.be/YiniUvDrvIw?si=a5BReU2XvMh5hVXJ
December 4, 2025Dec 4 Yes, I also use this kind of workflow occasionally. With the introduction of MusicXML import, it has become very easy to send also a section from Sibelius back to Opusmodus, develop or modify it within Opusmodus, and then send it back to the score editor.
