Posted July 5, 20168 yr Hello, I'm a new user and wondering if there is a recommended method to input and convert a score to OpusModus. I have a score I've written in 4 parts each part represented in its own file in both MusicXML and MIDI. My goal is to import (either the MIDI or MusicXML) and convert these to OMN so that I can modify them using functions. I have been able to import them but I'm having difficulty converting them to OMN and I haven't been able to find this specific use case in any of the documentation. Any best practice or advice is appreciated. Regards, Tom
July 5, 20168 yr Hi Tom, you can import your file as Midi with the function Midi to score in the File Menu. But for a good importation, your midi need to be very "clean". I generaly obtain very good result from midi conversion to OMN but i prepare carefuly my tracks in logic with no overlap of notes, perfect quantization etc.... Once you midi tracks are clean, import and convert to OMN works very well. I suppose if your tracks come from a score editor, normally the importation into Opusmodus from Midi could be ok. SB.
July 5, 20168 yr Author Hi Stephen, Thank you for your response. I have one question - where in the interface would I find the action to convert to OMN? I've selected the file and right-clicked but did not see the option in the menu. Thank you, Tom
July 5, 20168 yr Hi Tom, you need to open the midi-file into the Opusmodus Player and click in it for give it the focus. After that, go to the File menu (top left in Opusmodus software) and select Export => Midi to score. SB.
October 19, 20168 yr Hello all, I have been using MIDI to OMN for a while, but is there a way to transform MusicXML to OMN within OMN (just because it is much easier to review and look at the notation)?
April 27, 20232 yr Is anyone working on this? Is it planned in the product roadmap? If not, I would be able to give it a try. But that will be .NET based tool to convert MusicXML to OMN. Would like to know if it's worth the effort (of value to the community, will not be a feature of OpusModus soon, ...) .
April 28, 20232 yr I would be very interested in it, since the interface over Midi is far too imprecise for reasonably complex rhythms, maybe an interface via Musicxml would be better?
June 5, 20231 yr I'll try to do a first proof of concept 🙂 Will start working on it this week to get a first impression of how complex this might be. Will keep you informed. Feel free to follow any progress: GitHub - willemdijkgraaf/MidiXmlToOMN: Converts Midi XML to OMN (OpusModus Notation) GITHUB.COM Converts Midi XML to OMN (OpusModus Notation).

June 5, 20231 yr Great news 🙂 We would need to end up with DEF-SCORE, same as we do with the MIDI to Score function: MusicXML to Score.
