The only good audio app I know of that's native for linux is Renoise (and it's not GPL). This is not true. You have Ardour and qtractor for instance. If you know how to work with JACK there are things possible for sure. I know people who where using FL Studio and Ableton Live and use now Ardour, Qtractor and Renoise instead on Linux. I just have a hard time dealing with GPL fanaticism, some attitude that seems to believe that anything created under a morally superior guideline must also be a better product or tool (essentially a non-sequitur). While it holds true for most GPL software, tools for audio and graphics are complete rubbish. I do not agree. Ardour, JACK, Qtractor for instance are good tools. The problem is that most people are not able to configure their system properly or refuse to learn how to work with JACK properly. \r ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I think you're right when you state this. The best example is Ardour, they can make a living, but it's not easy. There is LMMS btw. Ardour is not a proper DAW in the modern sense. It doesn't let me (for example) drag a softsynth onto a track and start programming it with midi data. As a multitrack recorder, It works fine. I wouldn't call it a DAW though (at least not in the modern sense of the word). Ardour 2 doesn't have MIDI editing functionality. Ardour 3 has, a beta release should be out soon. Also, I'll just pretend you didn't say LMMS. Not that I'm ungrateful for their trying, but it's just not FL in any way, shape, or form. Developers need to stop creating low quality clones, and begin their projects with notions of what makes the programs they want to emulate so great in the first place. Again, both being an artist and being a programmer are heavy specializations. I'm not surprised that you don't find many hybrids posessing both skills who want to commit their efforts for little compensation. I didn't say I like LMMS, I don't like it, cause it lacks proper JACK support for instance. I prefer Qtractor and Renoise in that scope. I do know how to use JACK, but it's a bit of a pain to manage configurations. In a program like FL, configuration is saved as part of the project file, as far as I've seen with JACK, the usefulness of multiple programs being linked together is negated by the fact that the configuration has to be managed separately. And one may argue that the same thing is true of FL using rewire, but because FL does almost everything you could need, I find the argument irrelevant. This is in stark contrast with the small, simple, modular philosophy I find in linux audio software. While better in the long run, it has some shortcomings in the present. That is: instead of loading one program and opening a single project file, I have to load up JACK, load up all the programs involved in the project, load all the project files for each program, then finally load the JACK configuration for everything else that's open. If I'm wrong on this point, please let me know. I hope I'm wrong, but if I am, then I think JACK could use some better documentation. If I'm right, then JACK needs some kind of complementary application that has some notion of project workspace. Within such a space various programs would be opened in a given manner and then linked when ready. The closest I came to that was writing a bash script that would open up QSynth, call sleep for a few seconds, then load up jack and connect everything up to my midi keyboard. I don't want to write a bash script every time I start a new project. While I appreciate that functionality, I don't think that's what will make people prefer a system like JACK. You're right, all though the JACK and modular infrastructure gives you very many creative and technical possibilities, the main drawback is session management. You can make your bash scripts and there are some other scripting tools made for that, but it is not ideal (for everybody)... BUT there are developments here: check www.ladish.org for instance. There is also Jacksession now, integrated in JACK: http://trac.jackaudio.org/wiki/WalkThrough/Dev/JackSession http://svn.fuzzle.org/jsweeper/trunk/ That's a fair argument. I'd actually never heard of QTractor, and I'll be checking it out in the next few days. Looks similar to sonar, and from screenshots I think I see some kind of JACK integration which looks intriguing. I don't like the idea that the faults of JACK are that people aren't willing to learn some kind of specialized rocket science though. JACK on a conceptual level is quite simple, but if it requires more than a day of study to use effectively, it's probably too complicated. I'd argue that it is JACK that needs to learn to work with musicians, not the other way around. Granted, it's fun for fooling around with, but as it lacks a sense of project awareness (as far as I've seen), I've never used it for anything serious (except perhaps sample making via ZynAddSubFX and JACK-Rack) I see this from a different perspective. The commercial apps do everything to get and keep customers as much as possible. That means also, make it easy! Maybe FL Studio and all those 'make-a-hit-in-one-day-apps' focus more on commercial goals... Ardour doesn't compromise

Did you made some progress getting a better midi output? \r Hi, The Gigsaw's midi output from a lilypond file gives you a midi file with velocities values. You haven't this option from a default lilypond file which only implements volume values per channel. But the Gigsaw uses a special way to get this result. Lilypond's midi output is especially buggy to do a sort about Param. It doesn't forget them but sometimes they are not in the right order for a clean midi file. Hence some unsolvable issues when I used Mididings. You can check what i say with midicomp. For this reason Gigsaw's midi files are stamped +veloc. Have you succeed to install and run the new Drummer's Gigsaw? There are around 250 downloads on my site and nobody gives me a feedback. I'm a bit disappointed. P.S. A second edition is coming soon with an easier install. All the stuff will be done by a bash script. Ouf! Mmh yeah, for composition stuff it would be nice if the midi output of lilypond could be improved. About your project. I like the fact that you do something with Lilypond, but I don't know the goal of the project very well and so I don't know if it's interesting for me personaly. \r ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hopefully somewhere in the future, I will find a possibility to let the fret number disappear, but as David Stocerk pointed out, some cases had to be distinguished (the following is a quote from a former posting from David): (quote...) It should be noted that a publishing standard is when there is a Note Staff + Tab Staff, tied notes (that is, the notes that are 'held') in the Tab Staff are indicated by parenthesizing the tab number(s). There are several conventions that are related to tied notes in a Notes+Tab situation: * Tab numbers that are 'tied to' are sometimes parenthesized, sometimes hidden. * In the case that 'tied to' notes are hidden, a parenthesized tab number is usually forced if the 'tied to' note is at the beginning of a line (i.e., the note is tied over a system break). * Likewise, parenthesized tab numbers are forced when a 'tied to' note begins a 2nd ending or Coda section. * A parenthesized chord in the Tab Staff are indicated with a single pair of parentheses surrounding all of the notes in the chord (as opposed to as single pair of parentheses around each individual note in the chord).
