I'd like to change (and add) some minor things in musicxml2ly, but before I
make a patch I wanted to make sure that no-one objects:
1) tagline: musicxml2ly currently uses the contents of the
software-element for the LilyPond-tagline. So the tagline at the end of
a piece engraved by LilyPond actually contains information as to the
encoding software of the .xml-file. As this information is also saved in a
custom LilyPond-variable named encodingsoftware and the converted file
is actually engraved by LilyPond I'd suggest to comment out/delete the
following line in musicxml2ly in order to print out the standard
LilyPond-tagline (Music engraving by LilyPond...):
set_if_exists ('tagline', ids.get_encoding_software ())
Okay.
2) conversion info: right now the conversion info at the top of the
generated .ly-file says e.g.:
% automatically converted from filename
I'd like to change that to:
% automatically converted with musicxml2ly from filename
Sounds fine.
3) source-element: musicxml2ly currently doesn't know the
source-element. I'd like to add it.
What would be the conversion result of a source element?
Michael Good uses the source element for publishing information as to the
original edition. (See MusicXML 3.0 Tutorial, pp 16 and identity.mod)
I'd suggest a custom LilyPond-variable named source or publisherinfo, e.g.:
\header {
publisherinfo = (Based on) Bach-Gesellschaft Ausgabe, Band 19
Leipzig: Breitkopf Härtel, 1871. Plate B.W. XIX.
}
4) MIDI: musicxml2ly currently automatically comments out the midi-output
in the generated .ly-files. Why not leave it in by default?
If the user is interested, he can always add \midi{} himself. By default,
lilypond doesn't create midi, so it makes sense to me to not add midi by
default in musicxml2ly, either.
Okay.
You might add a cmd line option to create a midi block (and a layout block to
make sure a pdf is created, too).
Sounds good! I'll see what I can do.
Thanks,
patrick
Cheers,
Reinhold
