Hi all!
My name is Felix, currently a second year student studying at University of
Ulm in Germany Electrical Engineering.
I'm playing piano and organ for more than 10 years and since one year I'm
conducting a wind orchestra.
I used many different applications to compose and arrange music like Finale,
Capella and - of course - Musescore.
I have advanced programming skills in C and Java and know the basics of C++
and Qt, but I haven't used it, yet. But I'm confident that I can learn what
I need to start well prepared in the GSoC work season.
I'd like to work on a tool which is able to create a piano reduction of a
score.
There is already the Implode/Explode-tool provided by MarcSabatella. But one
of the biggest restrictions is,
that it's not possible to Implode/Explode correctly if there are different
rhythms in the selected measures.
In choral music for example are often passages of mixed rhythms and even a
bass solo wouldn't have copied correctly.
Of course it's not necessary to implement a big tool to im-/explode some
SATB-scores, but it's an often requestet feature
and regarding a bigger score with more than 4 different parts it might be a
good idea to make the process of im-/explode much easier and faster.
Who would benefit from this tool?
The first group are composer, which use MIDI input: They could now play a
reduced version of their piece and then easily assign the voices to a part.
The second are arranger, which want to create a piano reduction of an choir
or an orchestra (maybe it should be possible to easily add things to a piano
reduction)
The last group are students and conductors, which want to have a smaller
summary of the score to analyze, or learn by heart.
My idea is to
> take the existing Im-/Explode tool and make it possible to have different
rhythms (but limit the maximal number of parts to 4)
> fill a new line with the selected measures
> fill a full piano part (two lines) equally with voices
> try to split the voices in an intelligent way, so you'll get a playable
piano reduction
There is quite a big similarity of the Im- and Explode function, so I
reduced my aims to the Implode function.
At the end there could be a tool to merge a score into an intelligent Piano
reduction (such as SA - right hand, TB - left hand)
and on the other side you should be able to reproduce a score from a Piano
reduction.
With the knowledge of this project it shouldn't be difficult to extract a
voice to a separate part.
Maybe it could also be done the other way around, so first add a command to
extract a single voice to a part and then transfer the idea to the Explode
command.
Please let me know if you've any suggestions about these ideas.
Thanks,
Felix Brauchle
