The next meeting of the Cambridge Python User Group will be on Tuesday 2nd 
August at 7pm

Note that this meeting will be in Room LR4 (on the ground floor) of the 
Department of Engineering

Charlotte [http://charlottegodley.co.uk] will be talking about her Music 
library project [http://github.com/Godley/Music-Library], a multi platform app 
she wrote for her final year project as part of her BSc Computer Science degree 
last year. The app is intended to be an open and extendible platform for 
organising sheet music (the notation for classical music given to players in an 
orchestra or similar), a problem which hasn't really been solved by other 
software even though there's plenty of software which can help you compose new 
music. 

Charlotte will talk about reasons she thinks the problem hasn't been addressed, 
problems she had working with music formats, including some thoughts on how we 
think about and perceive sheet music and Optical Music Recognition, particular 
issues technically with Python and forcing a single codebase to work on 
Windows, OSX and GNU/Linux, and how the app turned out in the end.

Please note that we are now on meetup.com, at http://www.meetup.com/CamPUG/. If 
possible, please RSVP there for meetings so we have an idea of numbers. As an 
incentive, there's normally more detail about each meeting there, and you can 
also find out about future meetings.
