Hi all, I am writing to express my interest in working on LilyPond as part of GNU in the Google Summer of Code.
I was just looking at the project suggestions, and am interested in working on contemporary notations. As a composer myself, I do find using Lilypond a very steep learning curve, especially for contemporary music, where a lot of workarounds are needed. I hope I can use this opportunity to create an infrastructure for contemporary notations that will make composers' life easier. I am also interested in creating a package that covers the style of composers such as Iannis Xenakis or Elliott Carter. I am just wondering if there are any suggestions in applying for GSoC and writing a project proposal? As for qualifications, I did my undergraduate in Music, majored in Composition during my honours year, so I have good knowledge in contemporary notation techniques and the capacity to research further if required. I am currently a Master student in electrical engineering at the University of Melbourne. I have only started programming last year but now I am a tutor in programming/computing in C at the University. Though scheme/guile is not my strong suit yet (I know the basic syntax and list operations, but still struggling to count the parentheses), I am willing to learn more and I believe I will have a good command in scheme/guile in a few weeks. Kind regards, Tsz-Kiu _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
