Hi all, Who would like to co-sponsor a MusicXML to Lilypond conversion script?
What: A script that extracts notes and rests from a MusicXML file into a Lilypond file. Written in Python, modular, extensible. Price: I've had a €350 price quote from Han-Wen. Current sponsors: Mark Van den Borre, €50; Tom Eykens: € ?; Still needed: €300 - Tom's contribution Goal 1: increase note entry productivity. A non-free (neither speech nor beer) optical music recognition program produces produces MusicXML output. Imagine being able to feed this to Lillypond... Goal 2: import simple MusicXML fragments made with Finale (Yes, recent Finale versions support MusicXML output out of the box. Sibelius supports it too, if you install the non-free Dolet plugin). I would personally use this functionality in my volunteer work for the Mutopia free sheet music archive (http://mutopiaproject.org), and maybe for integrating short and simple bits of music from solfege teachers at our music academy in a consistent style. Mark P.S. I am aware of xml2ly, but that effort seems to be dead and won't get accepted into the official Lilypond tree. P.P.S. I am not a list subscriber. Please CC me your reply! -- Mark Van den Borre Noormannenstraat 113 3000 Leuven, België +32 486 961726 _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
