*How will you « mix », so to say, LP scores with files from remix software*
When I said mix, I mean to only mix musical notes and not software related. *and how can a user modify/enrich music produced by the latter directly on the web site, without having these software installed on their workstation* It won't be *"directly"*. The easiest way is to label correctly when you upload your piece, so that it shows up in the UI. So for instance, someone post a jpeg images of a piece (no software). Someone else is going to need to transcribe it using whatever software they are using for other to build upon it. If I like it, I'll have to transcribe it to make it exportable. Overall the site is just for sharing purposes. Anything else would be to complex for people who aren't very tech literate. I can conclude that most won't even know what musicxml is as I think the majority of users will be those who are just music literate in general and now technical background. If my guesses on site behavior is correct, eventually basic technical terms will be the norm on the site as most will eventually come across many xml and "made using lilypond" related post. They will eventually search for it especially if they want to play or edit that post. There's to many alternating software to try to let user edit on the website so they are going to have to do it offline in their own separate ways (software or no software). Something that complex would be to much time waste on the developer (if any are interested), to complex for the average users, and to complex to code also. In the end, how people combine different stuff, well I'm sure they'll get creative. The UI isn't perfect, but it's enough to handle most stuff in the broad sense. Us in the technical field tend to push things a little far for first launch, but with this, I think it's best to make it broad and then see how the site is used first. I'll probably just put something like (lilypond the standard for this site) somewhere people can see or something like that the majority (non tech-literate) get used to the site in general as to how the composition are being created, and shine some lights on lilypond. So taking out the interaction of different software and making the site operate as just a hosting and sharing network, I don't think the site is especially hard to code. If that doesn't answer your question let me know. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Your-thoughts-on-Lilypond-exposure-2015-hackathon-challenge-to-popularise-Lilypond-anyone-tp172123p172137.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
