Good luck with Strasheela! I keep trying to crack my brain over it, and it just has not happened yet. Lilypond I get. Python I get. Mozart has been tough for me... Josh Parmenter had been working on a SuperCollider-to-lily project. I'm not sure where he's at with it, but if you know SC, that co

Me too I've long been interested in this; I'd like to be able to generate endless sight-reading exercises/material for guitarists, perhaps in the form of duos with the computer playing one of the parts just to keep things interesting.

For what it's worth... I do a lot of exactly this: aleatoric composition in Lilypond. My "seven pieces for seunge hye", which is somewhere on www.apollinemike.com/mike, uses this in pieces 1, 4, and 6. My most recent piece, "Norman (12 ans) à la dernière répétition avant sa Bar Mitzvah", also do

Hi, I'm thinking of writing a little fun application based on "Mozart's Musikalisches Wuerfelspiel". The idea is to compose a 16-bar Waltz using a pair of (virtual) dice and a table of musical fragments. I already wrote such a game for Mup ( I you have Mup, go to http://linux.martintarenskee

Hello, this might be a stupid question, but I only just started using lilypond and I can't figure it out: For a piece in 2/4 I want to subdivide the normal beams to 8th notes. Here's what I've written: \version "2.12.3-1" \include "deutsch.ly" \header {title = "Le Ior" } \relative f' { \new Pia
