Re: some original LP scores
Hi,
a somewhat late answer...
2013/9/8 Dave Phillips dlphill...@woh.rr.com:
I've revised some pieces and added some new things here :
http://linux-sound.org/dlp-music-lilypond/
Comments and suggestions are most welcome, particularly regarding part
writing and instrument-specific matters. This work was done primarily in
response to an on-going article project, I'd like it to be presented as well
as possible.
Sonatina Prelude
---
* i recommend upgrading to newest development version (there's almost
nothing to change in syntax, actually). Current dev version produces
consistent spacing on both pages (in your rendering, systems on 2nd
page are much closer than on the first page), and also accents don't
touch slurs.
* the proper way to indicate guitar positions is using text
spanners:
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/guitar#indicating-position-and-barring
(they automatically adjust their length when the spacing changes).
* in my opinion it would be clearer to define two voices and combine
them instead of creating splits on a per-measure basis. But that's
a matter of personal preference.
Umeko
-
* I find the voicing in m.61-64 a bit strange.
* accent in m.73 collides with the notes.
* placement of whole noteheads in last measure looks strange.
I believe these problems would have a smaller chance of appearing if
there were full-length voices, i.e. if you had used
melodyI = { 104 bars of music }
melodyII = { 104 bars of music }
melodyIII = { 104 bars of music }
\melodyI
\melodyII
\melodyIII
rather than { } \\ { } \\ { } construct.
Trios
---
* it would be good to increase the distance between systems, either by
reducing font-size or by spreading the piece onto more pages.
Can i save these scores as a material for analyzing LilyPond
performance in the future?
best,
Janek

Umeko needs a complete code rewrite, the Sonatina somewhat less. The trios are the most ambitious things I've done in LP, I've a lot to fix there. Btw, Rachael asked if the guitar pieces had been recorded. They have not, though the Sonatina is available in a recorded MIDI version at http://archive.org/details/SonatinaForAnImaginaryGuitarist. Unfortunately time is in short supply these days, but I'll try to do a major clean-up over the next two weeks. I'll announce the refreshed scores when they're ready.

some original LP scores
Greetings, Some time ago I wrote to this list with some questions which were answered promptly by various members here.

Re: some original LP scores
Hi, do you know GitHub? I think it would be convenient to use it in this situation - it would be easy to post comments about specific lines of code, send you patches with suggestions how to improve things etc (i consider doing this manually to be pretty inconvenient). Even if you don't know github and git, you may be interested to try this (i could help you with setup) - it will most probably be a very enlightening experience, as LilyPond text input enables you to use a very interesting workflow. best, Janek 2013/9/8 Dave Phillips dlphill...@woh.rr.com: Greetings, Some time ago I wrote to this list with some questions which were answered promptly by various members here.

Re: some original LP scores
thanks for sharing, dave. wow, i imagine umeko must have been very beautiful... i had a japanese girlfriend in the late 1980s, and i still remember her fondly. i can't say i read your score with the attention it deserves, but the first thing i noticed is that starting on m. 52 the rests in the middle voice seem to be missing (it's the lower part in m. 73). it also called my attention that there are several tempo indications through the piece, but no dynamics after the initial mf. other than that, i would have oriented some ties differently, specially on some chords. is this out-of-the-box? looks nice overall. good to see you around, dave, looking forward to reading your article! ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Dave: Thank you so much for sharing these! They look great. Wonderful examples of how beautiful engraved scores look using LilyPond.

Not in tablature, I'm afraid (but that's not how Dave himself chose to look at Umeko). I entered a Type-Ugly issue as URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3542. It's not quite original as I had to sever a tie in order to make sure it was not cause of the problem. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

IIRC Csound has some support for MusicXML, but I've never tested it. i did something very basic not long ago for a project, parsing the output of the event-listener with a python script to generate a csound score. i repeat it was *very basic*, according to my limited knowledge of python and my non-existent programming skills... it was also hard-coded for our specific LP code and csound orchestra, and it would be useless for general use. but there are some ideas there. i think this is a recurring theme on the lilypond community, the possibility of rendering the music with good(ish) quality from the lilypond score. at least *i* would be interested in something like that. i see three possible lines of work: 1) improving lilypond's MIDI output. there's a thread still running about panning, and there were others before that. right now lily's MIDI output is very basic. of course MIDI itself is very limited, but if LP had a more sophisticated MIDI module (or whatever it is called), that alone would be a great improvement; 2) MusicXML? i must say that i know next to nothing about MusicXML itself, or how it is supported by LP or Csound. but i guess there's much potential there; 3) something along the lines of what i did. event-listener.ly would need to be expanded to support more events, then different scripts could be developed to parse the output and generate standard midi files or csound scores or whatever. i think python is perfect for this task, but then again i know very little or nothing about other programming languages. from what i hear, many people like lua now. i think those would be interesting projects if there were people with both the qualifications and the disposition to work on them... i'd be glad to involve myself in something along line 3) if it used python. but someone is needed with solid LP scheme knowledge to expand event-listener.ly. best, lj ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: some original LP scores
Hello dp: Sonatina: Prelude, m.2 should have a third position marking instead of the second position marking that is in the score at the moment. I am having some fun playing through these. Has anyone performed them? Rachael On 09/08/2013 09:53 AM, Dave Phillips wrote: Greetings, Some time ago I wrote to this list with some questions which were answered promptly by various members here.
