Hi all, I've only recently resurfaced after being abroad for a looooong time. Hence there has been no development on the Glasgow pitch-tracker for while. But, that /may/ change in the near future. For the record, I'm now at Glasgow Caledonian though still collaborating with Nick et al at Glasgow.
I did have a plan for supporting microtonal music within RG. It seemed this could have been implemented with 'minimal' disruption. But minimal disruption still meant modifying the notation code. A long time ago I thought it would be better to put the idea on hold until the QT4 and notation reworks which were being considered at the time had been implemented. We achieved microtonal playback using RG and fluidsynth. Fluidsynth allows you to specify the frequency of each individual midi note. However, the music must be translated into a 'scordatura' version. Hence there is one version for notation, and another version for playing. Nick wrote the initial tool for conversion. It's been so long now I don't remeber how it works, but I expect he'll join the thread soon..... I considered integrating a translation tool into Rosegarden but first thesis writing and then global galavanting took priority :). I have the translation code - just need to integrate it. So maybe this won't be too long off. Dougie D.
