Re: fonts on windows

Windows shows some sort of other font interface when one navigates to windows/fonts. It doesn't try to look like a normal directory. The Windows user does not have direct access to a folder named "windows/fonts", or if she or he does, I don't know how to find it. If installing a font correctly in t

Re: fonts on windows

While my knowledge of Windows is extremely limited, my experience is that Windows lies to you. If you use Windows Explorer to navigate to c:\windows\fonts you will see a lot of fonts installed. If instead you open a command window, cd to the same directory and run "dir", you will get a differen

Re: Entering Chords using Nashville Number System

Hello Valentin, Thank you for your help with this, and for providing the example. I have been able to use NNS to denote chord names as I need to. I agree that it would be great to implement the full NNS notation as Amy described. Thanks, Samuel Gibson On Fri, Jan 14, 2022 at 2:43 PM Valentin Pet

VLC as a MIDI player - OT from "Lilypond's English Horn MIDI instrument is non-transposing?"

Just to add clarity (I hope!) to VLC being used as a MIDI player... If you do nothing but install VLC, it doesn't play MIDI. However, it has a built-in MIDI synthesiser (good ol' FluidSynth). The 2nd 'however' is that there is no soundfont bound to this built-in synthesiser. I've no idea why,

Re: Lilypond's English Horn MIDI instrument is non-transposing?

Hi Wol, Out of curiosity, and speaking as a Brit! what on earth is an "English Horn"? Is the instrument the English call a Cor Anglais? Yes. The etymology seems to be a bit involved here - although it seems certain that the name has nothing to do with England. :-) Two standard explanations

Re: Lilypond's English Horn MIDI instrument is non-transposing?

Hi James, Lilypond uses these GM names, which makes Lilypond a somewhat GM compatible source. This means that as long as we use a GM compatible synth everything should have the right sound. I was using VLC to play it. Does this mean that VLC is not GM compatible? "Sounding like" (= using sa

Try Audiveris. https://github.com/Audiveris/audiveris The output MusicXML will require cleanup and proofreading. I import it into MuseScore for an initial editing pass, then export again to MusicXML. This new file goes into Frescobaldi. On Sat, 15 Jan 2022, 17:23 James B. Wilkinson, wrote: > I
