Ok, perhaps you're right. Here's the latest news about Haskore, partly
in answer to questions from Jose Romildo Malaquias.
Haskore was developed mostly by me, with some help from a few
undergraduate students. I don't have direct funding for it so it's been
mostly a hobby for me. However, I have a funded undergrad to work
exclusively on Haskore this summer, and one of my grad students is now
looking at it because it relates to issues of real-time computation.
include:
1) Taking advantage of 1.4 features to make it easier to use.
2) Adding better support for midi files, like the ability to read them.
3) Adding support for direct midi, which is tricky business because of
the real-time constraints. We are looking at a subsystem call MidiShare
developed at GRAME which is a real-time scheduler and coordinator of
midi devices. We would Green-Card this into Hugs and use it directly.
4) Cleaning up and releasing an internal version of a Haskore-to-csound
converter.
>From the music side I still collaborate with Tom Makucivich on some
exotic things like (currently) fractal compositions. I'd also like to
choreograph some pieces using Fran!
As for notation, I have no plans. The problem is that it's quite easy
to write a midi-file, then open it using any number of high-quality
commercial notation packages. So why should I bother writing my own?
If people are interested in collaborating with us on any of this I would
be more than happy to. There are a number of other things that we'd
like to do, like accept real-time midi input, etc (which MidiShare also
handles, so perhaps this will get done this summer too).
