Custom music notation?

Hello, *Lilypond* users and developers. I have designed a music notation system called Plain Music Notation or *PMN* for short. *But unfortunately I am not a software developer at all.* You can find more info about it here: https://github.com/Pashkuli-Design/PMN http://musicnotation.org/wiki/not

Re: Custom music notation?

This could be done relatively easily with lilypond. The different note heads for different steps in the chromatic scale is already used, but will need some modification for you. Changing the staff position from a note-based position to an ocatave-based position is slightly more work, but doable

Override BeamedStemTremolo with regular StemTremolo

I understand the reason behind the aesthetic choice of using a different type of tremolostem for beamed notes but the current implementation IMO doesn't work as good as the regular StemTremolo. • Slope is a simple rotation and not a real slope. • You can't tweak the space (length-fraction) of trem

Thanks, *Karlin* (my bad) Hello, *Carl *and* Karlin* Yes, I agree with your remarks regarding "spacing" of pitch, but let me point out that the standard notation also eliminates at least 42% of this by adding accidental symbols and 8va, 15ma amendments where needed. The purpose of PMN is to repr

Thank you. This certainly works for simple scenarios. Here is my incomplete take. I just need to find out how to automatically change the number that repeats the stencil based on the spanner length. Sorry if this doesn't make sense. I just started learning bit by bit how to make things work in Sch

Re: Override BeamedStemTremolo with regular StemTremolo

Hi, Dimitris What do you mean by tremolostem. I have not shown example with tremolo. Also, what slope rotation, what real slope? What space and length fraction, default StemTremolo, not sure what is that 'default'. The stems for the notes are slightly different - actually quite different - especial

Re: Spannerize glyphs, markups etc. ?

Hi David, Thank you very much! The problem you described is innate with spanners such as trills etc. All software I've encountered including Lilypond work exactly as you described. Perhaps the calculation could extend the overall Spanner length to allow for the last appearance of the glyph if the

A simple fix is to add these two lines of code to book_latex.py just before the temporary file is created, just after line 205: if(sys.platform == 'win32'): tempfile.tempdir = 'C:/Temp' If lilypond-book.py is running on a Windows platform, create the temporary file in C:/Temp. Then we do

Re: Custom music notation?

Indeed, that is why today people simply use MIDI-rolls to make music. Yes, it takes HUGE space if you have to write 12 notes for absolute pitch (vertical distance), especially if you have to print it out. Shape notes are older than the "standard" notation. You will have a hard time reading 3 octav

Maybe 18th century to the... Western world. At least 2000 years for other places around the world. Exercising an instrument is just learning to play. Chromatic is best matched with chromatic. Music is not only harmony "thirds" or natural major or minor. Have you heard about Kravtsov accordions: h
