Oh, and does it have to be generative, or can it be a fixed score? Download "Bleep" from my webpage - the score is a bunch of jpegs. Ed

I was following this thread with interest, and have been checking your 'teasers' for your upcoming project with much interest. Hope it's all going well. I'm looking for a .ttf for rendering very simple notation - notes, rests etc without the need for barlines. Could you recommend one, as I have been floundering somewhat and going round in circles trying to get one that works happily in pd & GEM? Also, I have recently upgraded my lappy to a dual core machine and I noticed from your screenshot that you are also a fellow puredyner. You had, in your screenshot, a rather funky looking gizmo that, if I read it correctly, measures the use of the dual cores - what is that thing!:) Very best wishes, Julian Brooks On 7 November 2010 12:36, Ed Kelly <morph_2...@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: > Since there are already some projects going through in this area (e.g. pwgl or >>inscore), wouldn't it >> make sense to try to integrate with these, or try to help them, instead of >>reinventing the wheel? > > >Perhaps, but consider this: > >The performer I am working with is a percussionist, and excellent at >sight-reading music.
