Hello, I'm in the process of resetting all the Psalms for Sunday for the Choir I sing in. In order to make my life a little easier, especially when setting to a different tone, I wrote up a bunch of sed scripts and some codes. To use them, create a file with the extension ".tone", and add the line(s) of the Psalms, and insert the codes the same way you would with a gabc. Then process the file with the appropriate script (see Liber Usualis, from pp113), and the result will be gabc code.
The gzipped tar contains all the sed scripts. I'm working on uniting them
into a single Perl file, though it still has a few issues to iron out.
I'm going to upload .tone files of all the Latin Psalms (first lines only at
this stage, unless the Liber Usualis has it in several parts) to the
Caecilia Project shortly (www.caecilia-project.org). I'm also working on a
script that will automatically boldface and italicize the appropriate
syllables for the text of the Psalms. Because of the amount of time that
will involve I'm only doing the first lines at the moment (any volunteers
for rest of the text? :) Once I've done all the Psalms from the Liber
Usualis and I intend to do the same for the Psalms for the Mass.
so, for an examplle from Psalm 109:
(\key)(\x) Di(\i1)xit(\i2) Dó(\i3)mi()nus()
Dó(\mm\3m)mi(\mm0\2m)no(\mm1\1m) me(\m)o:(\m1) *(:) Se()de() a(\3n)
dex(\nn\2n)tris(\nn1\1n) me(\n)is:(\n1) (::)
and to set it in tone 8g, (in this instance the file is called 109.tone)
sed -f 8g.sed 109.tone
will output
(c4)() Di(g)xit(h) Dó(j)mi(j)nus(j) Dó(j)mi(j)no(j) me(k)o:(j.) *(:)
Se(j)de(j) a(j) dex(i)tris(j) me(h)is:(g.) (::)
Here's a brief explanation of how the codes work:
\key - c3/c4/f3 (In hindsight I should have called it \clef)
\i1 - first syllable
\i2 - second syllable
\i3 - third syllable
\t - 'tenor' or default note
\f - flex
\mm - penultimate stress (first part/cantor part)
\mm0 - (optional) additional syllable(s) in section \mm (section \mm
being from syllable \mm up to but not including \m)
\mm1 - final syllable in section \mm
\3m - third syllable before \m
\m1 - end of \m section (from \m to end of part)
\m - final stress in cantor part
\nn - penultimate stress
\n - final stress
\x - placeholder to prevent sed removing empty brackets
Empty pairs of brackets will default to \t. I don't see a point in entering
\t when I can do it automatically :)
Some brackets contain more than one code. This causes no problem - the sed
scripts ignore all codes that are not relevant to the tone.
HTH,
Andrew.
