Dear LilyPonders, 

 

In about two weeks' time, SCORA will make its premiere with the Leuven
Alumni Orchestra (Leuven, BE). Dates are 14 December (20:15) and 15
December (15:00)

 

SCORA is a synchronised system for letting orchestra's play from
displays/tablets. The rendering is based on Lilypond, for various
reasons. One of them being the quality of the rendering for which I do
get very positive feedback. 

 

I have 5x2 free tickets available for members of the LilyPond community
who might want to see the system in action. Tickets are given out on a
first-come-first-serve basis, and can be claimed at i...@scora.net.
Given the cost, and that we are playing for a full house, I do expect
you to show up if you claim tickets ;-) We don't like to have empty
seats.

music-for-tablets

 

It's an interesting concert, even without taking into account the SCORA
system. The program:

*         Hugo Alfven - Midsommarvaka

*         Sergei Rachmaninoff - 3rd piano concert (!) with Liebrecht
Vanbeckevoort (laureate of the Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2006) as
pianist

*         Jean Sibelius - 5th Symphony

 

For the curious: yes, we have entered all that music in LilyPond. A
daunting experience, especially the Rachmaninoff piano concerto. I need
to figure out copyright issues (Rachmaninoff died just 70 years ago) to
see if I can make the sources (or part thereof) available to show what
LilyPond is capable of.
