Yes, Philomelos is still alive and I’m about to update the musicxml2ly-dev Github repo. Over at least three years I have written almost 100 bug reports and many test cases for Philomelos and I will try to publish them as well. We have fixed quite a few of these bugs. I just implemented a solution to the tremolo bug reported here. This doesn’t mean that musicxml2ly-dev doesn’t make any mistakes any more. The script is far from being perfect. There are loads of bugs and probably some regressions waiting to be found and some xml elements still cannot be converted. musicxml2ly-dev can neither deal very well with insane MusicXML exported by some renowned music notation applications nor with user errors. Now analyzing bugs, writing test cases and bug reports, finding and implementing solutions takes a lot of (“spare") time. I seem to be the only one working on musicxml2ly for quite a while now. The musicxml2ly-dev files have changed considerably over time. As a matter of fact I won’t have time to maintain both the Philomelos version and the LilyPond version of musicxml2ly. But at least I’m trying to make the source code available on Github. It shouldn’t be too difficult for others to cherry pick and merge some or all of the Philomelos work with LilyPond. As always: help would be very much appreciated! BTW it’s _Philomelos_ (Φιλο philo- (loving), and μέλος melos (song)[1]) and _not_ “Philomenos”! patrick [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_thrush _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
