Re: organ - off topic

Some organs have a toy stop emulating bagpipes, which is a single lever that activates two drone pipes (reeds): they are either on continuously, or off. And organ tuners commonly use a key weight to depress individual keys while they are tuning, if they have to tune without an assistant. There

A two-way converter would interest me a lot! As I said, my converter is quite basic (dare I confess it’s a shell script), because it’s for a very specific repertoire, so it makes lots of assumptions as a short-cut. > On 30 Jun 2020, at 21:45, Urs Liska wrote: > > Am Dienstag, den 30.06.2020,

Hi, I use Humdrum a lot, and have written a basic hum2lily conversion tool, which I am using to prepare my edition of the Buxheim Organ Book. It’s quite specialised for my particular application, and not terribly sophisticated at the moment. Cheers, Frauke > On 30 Jun 2020, at 16:28, Jacques

Re: Is lilypond really suitable for composing?

I would agree with those who counsel paper and pencil for the compositional process itself. I would also argue that developing the link between notation and your inner ear is extremely helpful if you're going to use notation, and that software with playback features can be counterproductive in

In short, yes, such things exist, though not in Lilypond. I am a computational musicologist that collaborates in developing tools for analysing counterpoint. We've got tools like this to use in Humdrum or Music21. I think the Lilypond implementation would not be trivial (as Urs says), but I'll

Re: OT: high-precision tuner app

The reference pitch wasn't standardised until quite late in history, and there were many local variations (some related to organ pitch). If you were a composer writing in a place with a low pitch standard, you might write the parts higher on paper. Thus Purcell's theatrical music (female roles

Re: Chords and what they mean

Speaking as a theorist here: while there are automatic chord analysis functions in many notation programs, in my experience, they are all not yet sufficiently aware of context (upon which a harmonic analysis is heavily dependent) and analysis style. It's quite easy to label chords as to the pure

Re: Mensural notation: 2 questions

Frauke Jurgensen: Yes, some decades ago (i.e. when Apel was writing), it was common to transcribe mensural music at a value reduction of 4:1 (i.e. 3/4 for Circle); now, 3/2 is a more common transcription level, and most specialist performers prefer to read either from original note values

Hello all, I suspect I'm just being a bit thick...typesetting some mensural notation, and having an issue with the mensural signs/time sigs. It looks like the definitions of these in terms of modern time signatures are in half values; e.g., Circle maps on to 3/2, when it should map on to 3/1. My

Oddly, I'm dealing with the exact same problem just now! Like you, I've set a metre and then set the default bar line type to empty. Simply removing the Bar_engraver will lead to disaster, although it will make all the notes evenly spaced...The clefs on subsequent systems will disappear. Now sure
