The distros only give very out-of-date versions, there is a link on the
denemo.org website to modern ones:

http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Aedogawa&package=denemo

there is also a binary, which avoids complications due to sharing libraries.

To answer my own question:

Looking at the output in my terminal it seems that denemo is looking in 
/usr/share/denemo/fonts for Denemo.ttf, emmentaler.ttf, and feta.ttf and 
can't find the directory and fonts.


But the Fedora rpm packages with the denemo fonts install them in 
/usr/share/fonts/denemo/ instead.


So I tried

ln -s /usr/share/fonts/denemo /usr/share/denemo/fonts

and now the fonts (clefs, notes, etc.) are shown correctly in de Denemo 
editor.


I guess I should send a bugreport to the Fedora packager(s) in 
Bugzilla.

This will be the note I wrote about running the binary that is built for
GNU/Linux systems. It doesn't run on my Debian stable 64-bit system,
apparently because there is something needed to run 32-bit executables
that I don't have. It does run in a virtual box running Debian (e.g.
lilydev) on the same 64-bit machine because lilydev has the 32-bit magic
in it - perhaps all except old-fashioned Debian stable do.
If the binary doesn't run out of the box I would suggest building from
source - there's a heap of packages to install, that way you get the
best version available.

I've noticed that Anglo-Saxons put the stress on the first syllable,
while most others choose the second (I've never heard our French
contributors in voice, but if it really is based on the word
"denouement" then why not the third?).

Installing Denemo

2015-05-10 Thread J Martin Rushton
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Having seen recommendations for Denemo I though I'd try to install it
on my CentOS 7 (basically RHEL 7) system.  I'm currently running
Frescobaldi 2.18 and Lilypond 2.18.2-1.  I downloaded both the f20 &
f21 rpms as well as the tarball.

Using yum (the standard RHEL/CentOS package manager) the rpms refuse
to load because Lilypond is unknown to the rpm system.  The tarball
fails with a /lib/ld-linux.so problem, on 64-bit systems ld-linux is
in /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2.

So, before I start hacking the system and re-inventing the wheel:
1)  Has anyone got a _quick_ fix for the rpm issue?
2)  Ditto the libraries.

I did note the compatibility comment on the Denemo download page,
presumably that will just be links from lib to lib64.  I can't see a
specific package using "# yum search compatibility | grep 32", can
anyone point me in the right direction there?

Thanks, and as a final passing point: how is denemo pronounced,
"de'nemo", "den'emo" or "dene'mo"?

Yes. When I know my piece is only going to have 1/8th notes and longer
the algorithm doesn't need to take smaller amounts into consideration.

Yes, you would do that by changing the list of durations and hence what
they are assigned to. As David points out in this thread, more
sophisticated approaches would be needed to get something useful. I am
very happy to provide the interface but don't expect to be working on
the algorithm any time soon.

I guess you mean the list of durations and the algorithm to choose
between them? That is still in C but it is pretty trivial to export it
so the user can play around with the AI bit.

Well, I think it would be a good idea to test this out before I start
writing code to support it. You can do this by writing a melody that is
all on one note. That is, enter a piece just by tapping on one note.
Then look to see how much of the durations it got right, and see if
accepting the correct ones and altering the wrong ones would be a
practical entry method, ignoring the fact that all the notes are the
same pitch. (You can, in any case add these over the top afterwards just
by placing the cursor on the first note and playing the notes on the
MIDI keyboard at your own pace).
I'm sure the first thing you will want is to start playing with the AI -
are you able to write simple Scheme? If so I will break this out for you
to play with sooner rather than later.

Hi Ryan. I wasn't necessarily reporting any "problem", just a question or
concern about how Denemo loads a ton of different mini-windows on startup.
Were you able to check out the video I included? It shows what I was trying

I assume this is customizable to, e.g., whole-note...1/8th or something
similar. 

But even if only 80% of the durations are correct, this would already be
helpful (for me, in some situations).

I'm not a piano player. I can, however, enter notes using a (MIDI)
keyboard in a slow and rhythmless pace, and I can tap the correct rhythm
on a single key. I'd love to combine these two inputs.

LilyPond (and Denemo?)

2013-12-04 Thread SoundsFromSound
Hello,

Can someone take a quick look at this and see if what I'm experiencing is
normal? I just did a fresh install of Denemo and opened it for the first
time. This is what I see:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22105560/Denemo%20Startup%20Config.mp4
(I've also attached a small (2MB) video file if you prefer to watch it
offline and not stream it.)

The bottom of the screen is what I'm mainly concerned with (clutter?).

Thank you so much for taking a look!

Well, that is what is interesting: if you played in on a MIDI keyboard
in perfect rhythm then you would be able to hit the "accept" key to
accept the rhythm Denemo has computed. Indeed, if it was going to be
perfect, you wouldn't need any second step, you could just go straight
on to adding non-music features - repeat bar lines, rehearsal marks or
WHY.
What happens in practice is that the rhythm computed from your playing
is full of "errors" and an artificial intelligence (AI) step is needed
to get close to something that would be acceptable. (It has to be near
perfect to make it worth giving to the user to check over, as fixing
mistakes is far more costly than playing in the music).

At the moment this AI step is the simplest possible, it goes through the
durations that you played assigning them to the nearest note lengths
using only whole-note 1/256th note and dotted versions of them (no
triplet values have been entered in the table of durations).

There are then two ways to go:

Write some Scheme procedures to work out what the user likely
wants, asking for the user to intervene where necessary

Let the user start typing in the actual durations (on the
numeric keypad) and "learn" from the first few what the likely
durations of the succeeding notes are. So, once you have covered
the rhythmic variety that you have in the passage, you would be
able to go over to just hitting Return to accept Denemo's idea
of the rhythm. This could include stuff like staccato markings,
so that once you had shown it what you mean by a certain
duration it could guess between say, a quarter note, a staccato
quarter note and an eighth note followed by eighth note rest.

At the moment, you can type in the duration on the numeric keypad or hit
Return to accept the suggested duration. The note is played as you do
this, so you can actually hear the piece as you go through it if you
keep time. You have to enter rests, staccato markings etc. yourself.

I will need to gain more experience of this system before deciding where
to go next. The stuff is in Denemo's git now though, if folk like to
experiment. The table of durations and the decision calculation using it
is not currently available to Scheme, but if someone with Scheme wants
to start experimenting it could be made available without problem, just
ask.

The system also works with imported MIDI files, which can have perfect
rhythm if machine generated.

In the Edit->Preferences->Externals tab you can set the path to

By "buttons" are you referring to those in palettes? - yes they are
nearly all displayed at first. But if you close them down or hide
individual buttons (right click) they will not come back. I keep just
one line of buttons in the General Palette with those things I like to
click on rather than type a key-press.

The customizability of Denemo means that such a feature is easily added
by the sort of user that customizes. I did even create such
mouse-shortcuts some years ago, but found that for practical purposes
hitting 7 to start a slur and then 8 to extend and 9 to reduce the slur
was just so much quicker. (You set your own custom shortcuts by right
clicking on the menu item).

ah, yes, Denemo had modes at one time too. Modal programs are pretty

The combinations in use by default are Digit, Shift-Digit and Letter,
Shift-Letter for durations and note names respectively, for
inserting/changing respectively.

You could set that up but then you would need a different key press to
move the cursor rather than the note.
I believe there is still a mouse-drag of notes up and down (setting the
caps lock I think), but I wonder how much it is used.
Mouse gestures can be customized by the user, but then they get in the
way of more serious use (no one seriously enters music using a mouse -
it is unbelievably slow).
That was one of the reasons for that "Profile" dialog that was the first
thing in the old 0.9.6 - if you chose "mouse user" you would get
something like that. "LilyPond User" on the other hand would get more
familiar short cuts and, more importantly, would get things like \repeat
volta 2 { . } which to a user unaware of LilyPond is quite baffling
- they just want to put :| in the score.

yes, the colors reflect the fill of the bar - this is explained in that
first big tooltip on the main display area I think.

yes, Denemo does not stop you overfilling a bar if you want, but
LilyPond will not typeset them unless you issue the appropriate command.
If you enter notes in the middle of the bar Denemo will not bump other
notes into the next bar - usually that makes no sense, and would be very
annoying if you were adding notes just temporarily prior to deleting
some others - after all, it could hardly go and get them back again.
If such is a normal thing in your use you would want to set a short cut
on the "Split the bar at the cursor" command. You just select the menu
item and press the key you want as a short cut.

not everything by several orders of magnitude, but most things that

In this case open the View->Lilypond window and right click and  choose
"Print from visible LilyPond text", the start of the error will be
highlighted in red, and the error message from LilyPond will appear in
the LilyPond errors pane. You can move the cursor about in that pane and
using the arrow keys and it should find the place in the Denemo score
where something nasty has been introduced. If in doubt, please send me
the file to look at.

These old screen shots were perhaps made with different window managers.
All that sort of stuff is dependent on the "theme" I think. I never pay
attention to it myself, it is (AFAIK) not specific to Denemo.

I think you must have used Ctrl-C to quit the program, in which case the
palette changes are not saved.

Did you have to execute "Save Command Set" to make the change permanent?
It should ask you as you quit...

This is off-topic for the LilyPond list, so I will continue in private,
but it is still very useful for me to see how the program appears to
newcomers.

No Denemo does not crash. But the Print View tells me: INVALID! Lilypond

The lilypond path was set correctly in the preferences. In fact, it just
tells me that it fails and it does not show the preview. But I can
export a pdf. So LP is found somehow.

Re: Denemo-feedback

2013-12-03 Thread Noeck
Hi Richard,

sorry for the old version. I now installed Denemo 1.1.0 from the
website. It can't use lilypond with it for some reason (it crashes when
I want to print) but I can look around and compare.

Many things have improved a lot: The sound plays nicely, the buttons
show no artefacts, the menus are readable.
I like the feature that one can click on the key signature to increase
the sharps or flats.

The look is still similar to Windows 95. On the website I saw something
gnome-like but not in my installed version. Is that available?

For my taste, there are too much buttons with a similar meaning. E.g.
all the slur and bracket buttons could be simplified as Frescobaldi
does: the slur spans the selected range of notes. Also, the buttons to
insert a note and change the current note to a different duration
duplicate things. Wouldn't it make sense to merge them (two different
modes or a shift+click for changing). It would also be convenient to
move the current note up or down with the up/down key (it moves only the
cursor).

I am still confused by the cursors, one | marking the point in time and
a square marking the current note/pitch. It is sometimes green,
sometimes blue.

It is not clear to me how a new measure is started. At the beginning it
worked (like in LP) automatically but later I had measures with more
than 4 beats (coloured in read) and the automatic bar line was missing.

The menus are very full which is probably a result of putting everything
in that is possible (which is good to have). But an intelligent
reduction would be needed (imho). E.g. for slurs you have to search a
while: Notes/Rests > Markings > Slurs > Begin slur

The menues are difficult to browser, because the tooltip/hint is often
very large and covers the menu.

What is the reason for not chosing LP shortcuts for input:
(=start slur, )=end it, 8=eigth note, r=rest etc. It would train people
a bit to this well designed representation.
, works to go down one octave, but ' does not go up.

The dot button and the accidental buttons as well as key signatures and
clefs work nicely.

I am still not convinced but it is definitely in a better state and
there were many improvements.

Cheers,
Joram

It's on the wish list for some time.
Another thing which will probably make instant compilation easier to realize is 
moving the music view to svg. On the long run this will lead to be able to 
graphically edit the result from a lilypond run, inserting the respective 
tweaks into the input files. Of course it will be a long way until that's near 
comprehensive, but if we start with tweaking slurs, fixing pitches or drawing 
spanners it will be more than a good start.

HI Noeck

I'm in the same situation: I'm more than happy with text input and
Frescobaldi, but I get interested in Denemo because I want to spread the
use of LilyPond and I think that we need a GUI for this.

Denemo is improved a lot in the last months.
One interesting feature of Denemo (missing in Frescobaldi, at the moment)
is instant compile.

I'm not using Denemo, sometimes I compile it and do a few tests just to
check the translation.
But I think that it's worth trying it again.

sigh!, that is just over two years out of date. Like LilyPond we have
now started posting binaries for GNU/Linux on our website. I was using
ancient LilyPond versions until I finally posted to the LilyPond bug
list and got told about not depending on my distro for a LilyPond
installer. Is there anything we can do to alert people who would not
want to be using ancient versions if only they knew?

Here, it is difficult to respond. So much has changed and I only have
hazy recollections of what the program was like then... I think all of
those things are long fixed.

This remains true, except that nowadays you can click on slurs and other
things in the final typeset and do things to them there. I think of the
clicking with the mouse to do things as just something that gets people
started, for serious use I expect people to use the keyboard, as it is
quicker. 
(Perhaps I should add that for historical reasons, making things like
barlines, trills, etc. clickable is comparatively hard - the display is
still largely just a drawing as it was in 1999 (?) when the program was
created).

This is a GUI not a WYSIWYG display. That is, what you see is what you
mean, you can see what music you have entered, but not what the LilyPond
will typeset to look like. And that is, of course, absolutely
fundamental, and is why Denemo is unusual. You are trading WYSIWYG for
quality of typesetting - if you typeset as you enter the music either
you have to wait a long time between each keystroke or you have to put
up with poor typesetting which needs manual adjustments.

??? menus have been shortened (and deepened) a couple of times ... now
we have a searchable command center; we cannot add every LilyPond

On faster machines the LilyPond typeset can keep up (especially if you

announced on the LilyPond list.

Denemo version 0.9.0 has been released.

2011-04-28 Thread Nils
Denemo version 0.9.0 has been released.

Denemo is a program for inputting music notation. http://www.denemo.org
The music being entered is displayed as conventional music notation and
can be typeset via GNU LilyPond and played via internal synthesizer.
Scheme scripting allows the user to generate music tests, music training
exercises and some educational games are included.

This is a major release filling out many features, fixing lots of minor
irritations in earlier versions and providing powerful features
unavailable from any other notation editor.

  * New features in this version: 
  * Undo and Redo 
  * Undoes all work on any movement with depth limited only
by (virtual) memory size. 
  * Re-do any number of Undo steps. 
  * Chord Entry from MIDI keyboard 
  * Auto advance of cursor 
  * With status on MIDI-in status bar 
  * Auto-notate chordal accompaniment 
  * Conductor 
  * Drive the playback with the mouse, pause, speed up, slow
down just by moving the mouse 
  * Works with looping/editing enabling you to listen in
detail as you step through a passage 
  * Play Along 
  * Choose one part to play via MIDI in, Denemo plays the
rest waiting for you if you pause 
  * Works with recording, so you can add improvisations 
  * MIDI shortcuts 
  * Delete Selection without removing empty measures 
  * Standalone Fermata: On barlines, other objects, between notes
etc. 
  * Small / Half sized Barline 
  * Phrasing Slurs 
  * Five Presets for different Voices (1-4 and Automatic),
resembling Lilyponds \voiceOne \voiceTwo etc. 
  * Separate Export command for saving LilyPond, MIDI 
  * save a copy of the score while continuing to work on the
original. 
  * Accompanist's Score 
  * Scrolling and zooming for the Print Preview window 
  * Lilypond Importer: 
  * Fermata 
  * Partial / Upbeat / Anacrusis 
  * Tied notes 
  * Custom beaming (Lilypond brackets [ ]) 
  * Staff/Instrument names and short instrument names 
  * Staff Groups 
  * Staff Groups now each have their own command 
  * Added GrandStaff grouping 
  * Help Frame to show key bindings and other info directly in
    Denemo 
  * New set of (real, physical) transpose/shift commands 
  * Arbitrary transposition - specify two notes or the name
of the interval 
  * Tonal step up / down (stay in key) 
  * Real whole tone up / down (tranposition) 
  * Real half tone up / down (tranposition) 
  * Real octave up / down (tranposition) 
  * Join Music Objects: Create a new note from a selection of
others 
  * Join Music Objects 2: Create a new chord with all
pitches and the sum of a selection 
  * Support for all notehead-styles Lilypond offers (default, cross,
mensural, diamond, slashs and more) 
  * Create chords with interval-based commands and shortcuts (major
7th, minor 3rd, perfect 5 and so on) 
  * NotationMagick 
  * Reverse selected notes 
  * Mirror selected notes on any axis, e.g.
middle-staff-line 
  * Sort selected notes according to pitch, ascending and
descending 
  * Shuffle selected notes. 
  * Generate rhythms from strings, converted to ascii binary
numbers used as rhythm. 
  * Lyrics 
  * Fix overlapping display 
  * Allow scripted insertion of lyrics 
  * Paste arbitrary lyrics including accents, multiple words
to one note, multiple notes to a syllable. 
  * Paste 
  * rewritten: more robust and faster 
  * deactivated playback of pasted content 
  * new variant to replace the selection 
  * Figured Bass 
  * Improve display, can now be used to play off screen 
  * Educational 
  * Handel's Figured Bass exercises: Play in, then Denemo
analyzes your realization for consecutive 5ths and
octaves.

Known Issues for this version: 
  * Playback does not get priority over other tasks. This will be
addressed in the course of gsoc 2011.
  * Not all LilyPond features are directly available via the GUI.

Is Denemo a good frontend for Lilypond?

2009-08-03 Thread Daryna Baikadamova
Denemo 0.8.6 claims to be able to edit and save lilypond file.  What
do you think about the quality of its Lilypond export?  How accurate,
and how human-readable is Lilypond output produced by Denemo 0.8.6?

But yes, there seems to be a minor problem with convert-ly in 2.10.0

I would suggest that there are two possible mistakes in convertrules.py

so that convert-ly gets stuck at 2.7.14 conversion if the original .ly

It seems to me that convertrules.py line 2636 and line 2638 there is
missing ", str" before the last ")"
I added those and then convert-ly seemed to work OK also with version
2.6.0 files as exported by Denemo.  Is this correct solution?

Right you are Adam. I looked under the keyboard in the edit menu and sure
enough some of the things I could not get to work were not assigned key
bindings. I will try to fix this and get back to you if there are any other
problems. Thanks very much.

This problem can be solved by editing the keymap functions, under the edit menu.
 It also depends upon your keyboard layout ( I think) but there are sample
layouts for french and english keyboards under the files (*.keymaprc).

Everything should work there are some bugs especially if your using alsa
make sure to change the playback options to match your system.

I can't even figure out what your problem is. BTW denemo needs alsa libs
and alsa dev libs if I remember correctly.
there is in the edit menu a very good dialog for changing keyboard
shortcuts.
If you have specific questions let me know.

I would recommend denemo from cvs over tars. There are a bunch of hidden
features such as lilypond editing that I am not sure are in the
binaries(maybe they have added them by now)

I was using denemo for half a year until I figured out that editing text
is actually quicker than graphical editing. The issue is that with a
graphical editor you must move up and down on the staff and right and
left. Text is as fast as your touch typing skills

Niko,
I installed Denemo on my mac by running and installing with Fink. You
will need an X11 system also installed to use it. It looked interesting to
me at first but was unable to get basic things working like dotted note
values. I suspect that there is a problem with the keyboard layout that is
