Thanks.

One thing: When I run lq, I still have to (manually) connnect its 'Virtual
RawMIDI ' port to 'Synth input port (10726:0)' although I understand from
the code this should be handled by lq itself.

Re: [ANN] LilyQuick 0.94beta - Quick note Lilypond entry using MIDI for Linux

2017-07-07 Thread Martin Tarenskeen 



Hi,

I just re-read the code and comments, and it seems configuring lilyquick 
works a little different. It looks to me that this is done from the 
function InitSetNoteLengths(). I'd rather enter my own list of 
valuemappings in a simple table. I only have to do that once, and 
LilyQuick wouldn't need an "intelligent" function to automatically 
calculate the keyboardmapping. Denemo is just one of many possible 
possible special preferences. A user-editable keyboard mapping table would 
be more flexible. (for example how do I configure a mapping in the 
style of Sibelius ?)

Hi Johan,

I’ve put version 0.941beta up which fixes the issue of custom layouts not
working and adds a Denemo layout option.

https://github.com/palestrina/lily-q

I developed the layout myself using the Finale Speedy Note Entry as a base,
which was:

8 - \breve
7 - 1
6 - 2
5 - 4
4 - 8
3 - 16
2 - 32
1 - 64

I always found the 1 key representing a note I never used a bit annoying,
and also lots of alternating between 8 and 16 required jumping between 4
and 3. So I made a circular sort of layout where adjacent note values are
always next to each other. But the latest patch allows you to do whatever
you like :-)

Interesting. It looks like a driver for all the fancy non-text-input things
theThinkPad keyboard can do. So it's no use for this purpose. Maybe

> cat /proc/bus/input/devices

is a more reliable method of locating keyboards. What do you get from this?

Great job. No problems getting it to run on Fedora 25.

Since I usually do note input with Denemo, I tried to change the key
definitions to match Denemo ( 0 = whole, 1 = half, 2 = quart, ...  ).
I changed the definitions in LQkeyboardEvents.lua but this doesn't seem to
work. Reading the code in LilyQuick.lua (lines 664 ...) doesn't make clear
how this is supposed to work.

Can you explain?

Also, it may be a good idea to make the keystrokes match Denemo by default.

Thanks for your contribution!

I guess you don't want Fluidsynth playing as well as your keyboard. You
could go to Linux.lua and delete lines 18-24, so that the LinuxOpenSynth
function does nothing and looks like this:

LinuxOpenSynth = function()
end

It seems to work OK...

Hi Martin,

I've been playing around on my Fedora partition and I can't seem to
replicate the problem. These listings by id are symlinks to "files" in
/dev/input:

[vaughan@Lenovo input]$ cd by-id
[vaughan@Lenovo by-id]$ ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Jun 27 22:45
usb-CHICONY_USB_NetVista_Full_Width_Keyboard-event-kbd -> ../event3
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Jun 27 22:45
usb-Logitech_USB-PS_2_Optical_Mouse-event-mouse -> ../event4
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Jun 27 22:45
usb-Logitech_USB-PS_2_Optical_Mouse-mouse -> ../mouse0

In this case, usb-CHICONY_USB_NetVista_Full_Width_Keyboard-event-kbd is
just a symlink to event3 in /dev/input

For the moment you could try typing

> cat /proc/bus/input/devices

Which will list all your devices.

The keyboard should be among them, with a line like this:

H: Handlers=sysrq kbd leds event3

Get the last word and put it into LQconfig.lua like this:
deviceName = "/dev/input/event3"

If your input devices change, this id might change. I might be able to
automate this procedure. Good luck.

[ANN] LilyQuick 0.94beta - Quick note Lilypond entry using MIDI for Linux

2017-06-27 Thread Vaughan McAlley 
Greetings,

I’m pleased to announce LilyQuick 0.94beta. The main new feature is that it
counts rhythms as you go and automatically enters bar checks. Also, some
settings have been made reachable from within LilyQuick rather than just
the settings file.

You can get LilyQuick here: https://github.com/palestrina/lily-q

I did a video demo that you can view here: https://youtu.be/eh8mgF1CNAo
(sorry about the background hiss)

>From the README:

Welcome to LilyQuick, originally written as a replacement for Speedy Note
Entry when I moved from Finale to Lilypond, and then much improved. The
basic idea is to play notes on a MIDI keyboard with your left hand, then
while they are sounding, press a note on the numeric keypad with your right
hand corresponding to the duration. For example, to get "f2", play an F on
the MIDI keyboard, and press number 5 on the numeric keypad. The advantage
to this approach is excellent speed and accuracy, and you get to hear the
notes as they are being entered.

Happy note-entering!
