(OT) MEAWS user study

2008-07-22 Thread Graham Percival
Hey guys,

I'm nearing the end of my Masters degree.  As many of you know,
I've been working on Computer-Assisted Musical Instrument Tutoring
programs.  In particular, I've create a program (MEAWS - Musician
Evaluation and AWdition for Strings) that grades simple
exercises.  It has two types of exercises:

Rhythms: you clap a rhythm and it gives you a grade based on how
accurately you clapped.

Intonation: you play some notes and it gives you a grade based on
how accurate your pitch was.  These exercises are aimed at violin
students.  Not useful for pianists, sorry guys.  :)


If you'd like to check it out, it's available at:

http://web.uvic.ca/~gperciva/meaws/


MEAWS is available for Linux and MacOS X, and licensed under the
GPL, so it's free to download and play around with.  A Windows
version was planned, but was dropped due to my lack of experience
with that operating system.  In theory it shouldn't be hard to
compile it (I used cross-platform libraries), but I just don't
know how this stuff works on Windows.

I'm also gathering feedback via a user study (on the webpage
above); you have any comments about MEAWS, please fill out the
form instead of sending to me directly.

Cheers,
- Graham

Re: strange error -beam and tremolo

2008-07-22 Thread Trevor Daniels

Seems to work ok in the latest development version, 2.11.52, so
I guess you're using an earlier version.  The development
version is now at least as stable as 2.10, so it might be worth
upgrading, although you will need to run convert-ly on your files.

That's very interesting; how do you determine what the right pitch is?
 Do you take modality and leading tones into account?

There's two modes: equal temperament, and just intonation.  Each
exercise starts with the tonic of the key.

The intonation exercises are very simple, though -- 8 notes (well,
4 notes repeated), and only basic material.  First position, major
and minor, and shifting from first to third position.  Basically,
they're computer-gradede Sevcik exercises.

The details are in my thesis, available from the same webpage
under "download".

Cheers,
- Graham

Tremolo that crosses staves?

2008-07-22 Thread Steven Weber
Is it possible to create a tremolo that crosses staves?  I tried \repeat
tremolo 32 {  \change staff = up  }, but that complained
that the tremolo command can only take 2 parameters...

 

Thanks!

Re: combine music, merge noteheads

Try \partcombine {\stemUp \sopone} \soptwo

This should do what you want, at least for this simple example.

Re: nopc -- Proposed Predefines

2008-07-22 Thread Carl D. Sorensen
Given all of the discussion, and based upon desiring the capability to use
.ly files as stylesheets, I propose to add two predefineds for
point-and-click:

pointAndClickOff = #(define-music-function (parser location) ()
  (ly:set-option 'point-and-click #f)
  (make-music 'SequentialMusic 'void #t))

pointAndClickOn = #(define-music-function (parser location) ()
  (ly:set-option 'point-and-click #t)
  (make-music 'SequentialMusic 'void #t))

If there are no strongly reasoned objections, I will move forward
on this next Monday.

Thanks,

Carl
