Hi everyone,

I'd like to take a moment to mention that I'll be teaching a five-day
bootcamp on composing with Abjad this July at Stanford's CCRMA in Palo
Alto, California:

CCRMA: Formalized Score Control: Using Python & Abjad in Music Composition
<https://ccrma.stanford.edu/workshops/abjad>

Friends and very close collaborators Josiah Wolf Oberholtzer and Jeffrey
Treviño will be teaching with me.

Abjad is Python-based composition environment that uses LilyPond for all
stages of notational output, from precomposition all the way through to
publication-quality finished scores. Abjad is especially useful for
composers who think of the music they write in a "formalized" way: that is,
for composers who write with patterns or processes in their music that can
benefit from being object-modeled.

You can read more about Abjad here:

www.projectabjad.org

And you can take a look at finished scores and listen to pieces here:

If you like academic papers, you can read an overview of Abjad here:

We especially encourage intermediate and advanced users of LilyPond to
consider attending the bootcamp: Abjad brings the full power of the Python
programming language to the syntax of LilyPond files that you are already
familiar with. If you've been thinking about adding a programming component
to your compositional process, the bootcamp in July will be an ideal way to
get started.

We're also happy to announce that Stanford has agreed to work with us to
provide a number of scholarships for women composers who'd like to attend
the bootcamp. We think it's important that composers of all backgrounds
from all over the world should have access to technologies to help make
their work as composers more powerful and more fun!

Best wishes for happy composing and engraving to everyone,

Trevor.
