Taste is somewhat a broad term but pretty much. I could estimate 5 ways it's going to be use.
1. re-composition of existing piece (same instruments) 2. new composition (different instrument) 3. new composition (remix/cover) 4. listening in general 5. new composition in general In regard to number 3, if you were to think in terms of what a composition is, you could say writing musical score is a form of a remix of a song, therefor I think their will be a section for just those who does the remix/cover but doesn't exactly use musical score but uses remix software* fruityloop, garageband, logic pro* etc etc. If you were to look at it in terms of that, these software produces their own "musical scores" and it would be fair to share them with other users who uses similar software. I could only imagine many people having a fun time building upon each other piece, and it might even get somewhat addicting depending on if you're an enthusiast or not. It might just be me, but so far I haven't seen a site with the right UI out there yet for this, let me know if I"m wrong. Call it the home of networking for musical composition. There are many sites out there like this already but the popular ones are embedded only for their technology such as noteflight. I want to keep the site as a "free software". The other second thing would be their search feature and how the results are organize, it isn't made for composition purpose. Also to put this out there now. The second goal of the site is the contribution back to the original artist. The UI made it simpler to be able to backtrack to the original artist (not user) and depending on how much views/listen or whatever, it would make sense financially to give me the money back to the artist. If any big artist ever decide they want to post their music on the site and sell it (digital copies), they can keep all their commission. Royalty rates and all that things are annoying, I made sure to include 3 other options (in the mockup) that could fund the site with highest return rates (hopefully). It's pretty much a site around mutual relationship between artist and benefiting the artist financially or through exposure, based around musical scores. I could only imagine the backend to be somewhat complex for the long term goal of giving back financially to the original artist. I hope that answer you question. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Your-thoughts-on-Lilypond-exposure-2015-hackathon-challenge-to-popularise-Lilypond-anyone-tp172123p172132.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
