Re: Better Midi, anyone? - dynamics

I faced the same problem four or five years ago, and I ended up writing a perl script that converted the volume changes into velocities in the midi file. If necessary, I can dig up and try to find it in my archives... Darius. luis jure wrote: El Tue, 11 Mar 2008 12:30:07 +1100 Peter Chubb <[E

Re: format conversion questions

Hello, We are currently looking at the possibility of using Lilypond as typesetting back-end for Finale. In other words, the process we (I mean, Han-Wen and I) are looking at goes as follows: - Music XML export - Convert to lily - Print on the fly. I understand that the converter is meant

Re: Engraved 'look'

As much as I think that old scores must be used as source of inspiration for balance, aesthetics, etc., I think that reproducing their defects for the sake of old-fashioned look would be odd. Softening corners is ok. But imperfections are not warm. They are just that: imperfections. Darius.

Re: faster lilypond rendering

Hello Richard, As a different data point you can compare to to explain the kind of performance (or lack thereof) you get: I produce a 70 pages conductor's score in less than half an hour (and this is a *very* conservative estimate) on a two years old PC. True, it has 2GB of memory, but other t

Re: etf2ly

I would generally agree, as the output of most translators is correct but barely readable. On the other hand, I hope we'll manage to get the MusicXML filter to be good enough to be able to use Finale as a front-end, and Lilypond as a back-end. If we - I mean, Han-Wen- don't, the output can stil

Re: MusicXML import: looking for co-sponsors

I can put 200 Euros on the - so far, virtual - table. However, I think it might be wiser to have a more detailed roadmap, with more or less detailed steps (Basic conversion, slurs, hairpins, glissandi, lyrics, etc...) each with a price tag so that we know what we can be expecting. This Music

Re: lily in agnula ? lily in live distro ?

I would not say it is expensive in absolute terms - it compares favourably with Cubase, for instance - but then again, compared with something that's free, I guess everything looks expensive. The hardware autodetection is fairly good. So is the support. I have two reservation about the product

I managed to get it to work by installing cygwin's tex, Python, shell, etc... together with the native Lilypond for windows (not the cygwin version!) It's a bit ugly at first sight, but it works. I postponed trying to get it to work under Python under native NT as soon as it started working (

I was surprised the first 5', and I then got used to it, and in practice, it makes more sense than it seems at first sight. For instance, it allows me to not change the key in the middle of a piece if for a few bars only, and change my mind later, if the few bars expand into much more, without h

Using Lilypond as a Lilypond preprocessor.

Hi, I think it might be a good idea for Lilypond to provide a facility which, based on an input file, provides a normalized intermediate file which is itself a valid Lilypond file, with exactly the same semantics as the original one, but where the variables (or at least, the user-define ones) ar

Just to be sure, when you write: \new Staff\notes\relative c' << \context Voice = "1" {s1*2} \context Voice = "2" {s1*2} \new Voice { c4 d e f << a( \\ b >> c << c) \\ d >> } >> saying that the two voices are maintained alive, does that mean that voices are matches by name o

Ok, I guess I'm going to make a total fool of myself (again), but Matt indicated that the MIDI standard was limited to 16 channels, and that was the final reason for my problem. When you say it is fixed in 2.2, does it meant that: - The staffs beyond the 16th are ignored - The 16 channels limi
