Greetings,
I wrote a piece for piano that I want to notate with LilyPond. The
piece has some difficult aspects regarding which I need some advice or
just confirmation that my strategy is sound (or not).
The piece is long, 848 measures of varying textures, styles, tempi,
and time signatures, with a playing time of about 34 minutes. I plan
to cut the file into manageable sections and hand-enter the notation
in LP code. There are unplayable parts that I'll assign to a recorded
part, though I also want to notate them.
What's your current relation to Emacs? I'm asking because I have
half-workable text entry tools for it but they are in a state where
you'd likely also invest time in the code and its use rather than just
whatever you are going to input with it.
Thanks for that offer, David, but I'm a vi kind of guy. :) Alas, my
knowledge of emacs is too slim to be useful.
Other than that, there is also "rumor" for automatic pitch detection.
It does not split polyphonic stuff though.
With regard to splitting Midi tracks at split points _and_ doing Midi
quantizing/notation it might also be an idea to look at Midi sequencers
like Rosegarden. I think that midi2ly sucks less when already dealing
with quantized Midi, so even just running stuff through Rosegarden for
quantization might help.
Since every note was hand-entered into the sequencer - I'm a guitarist
with no music keyboard skills - I think it's a safe bet that
everything's quantized, i.e. all durations are exactly as I wanted them.
Thanks for the reminder re: Rosegarden, I'll try the MIDI file there to
see how it shows up in the notation page.
Best,
dp
