The glasgow-pitch-tracker people might have some work in this area worth checking out. I've never actually done anything with their branch, but it sounded like they were trying, among other things, to get RG to play quarter tones by inserting appropriate pitch bends.
Unfortunately, I've been deleting emails instead of moving them to trash, so I lost the begining of this thread. I didn't realise the archive was a bit behind either. Anyway, we have implemented quarter tone accidentals but for save/display only. They are compatible with the pitch tracker, which works with the notated pitch rather than the midi pitch, but as yet nothing affects the sound coming out. I do intend to implement microtonal support, but it will use the midi tuning standard rather than pitch bends (pitch bends restrict harmony). However, I'm going to finish off plans for the pitch tracker first. We have been using a combination of Rosegarden, Scala, Lilypond and FluidSynth to train a singer and a clarinetist to play 19 tone equal tempered music. We use Scala to retune Fluidsynth to a 19ET scale. Nick has written a script which will convert a score to '19ET scordatura' ie. the notes on the scordatura score represent the notes to be played on a conventional keyboard to achieve the desired note from FluidSynth. Importing this score into Rosegarden allows us to play accompaniement through Rosegarden, while the pitch tracker simultaneously tracks performance using the original score. Sounds complicated, and it is, which is why we want to include this functionality in one application. Hope this clarifies something, if not the original question :) Dougie -- _________________________________________ Douglas McGilvray Centre for Music Technology Rankine Building University of Glasgow Glasgow, G12 8QQ http://cmt.gla.ac.uk/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
