Hi! (11:12 in France)
So many questions to reply ^^
That idea of IDE came when I was putting a tie on a 4-note chord, so I
had to write “{A {B {C {D }A }B }C }D” and I was thinking: “Hey, I
should code a button to do this.”
Thinking about my project.. I don't know if this is necessary. In my
developer experience I never used the buttons because I'm much faster
with keyboard - better change keyboard layout [optionally with the
keyboard ;)] so that f.e. { } characters can be input faster. It's
relatively easy on *nix platforms. Apart from that I could imagine it as
a plugin but not as a built-in feature.
Another thing would be automatic placement of braces or even "code"
parts. Such things would justify a code button, maybe even with some
kind of wizard f.e. when creating a new score.
I'm thinking to another feature. When I have this code:
[code]
c4 c+ e c /
c4 c g+ g /
f4 c e c /
a4 a g g /
[/code]
And when I get an error “Cannot put a slur on a rest” (or something like
that) because I forgot some + and - in the code, I have to find for
example the bar 34 in all my code (yeah, I don't put any comment), so I
must calculate 3 * 34 + k to know the line.
Well for me it's enough if the score generator show both the line
and the column. Having the bar number as well is quite sophisticated if
you don't have a backend engine like the one of Canorus (and to my
knowledge there is none as portable and well-documented one score
engine freely available as this one).
It would be great for an IDE to know at each line in what bar you are ;)
I think it's much easier to implement a "Goto Error" function if you
doubleclick on an error from PMX output.
To PMX users: Don't you think PMX (with some experience) is quicker to
use than an editor like Finale or Sibelius because you don't have to put
notes on the staff?
For Canorus, I saw it was available for Mac OS X. I'll give it a try.
Thanks, feedback would be nice, especially for installation problems.
Also you could give the latest SVN version a try having much improved
concerning installation on Mac.
