[R] Hershey fonts for musical notation?
Hi,
I'd like to know if it is possible to use Hershey vector fonts to create very
primitive musical notation.
If I can hang some whole notes on these lines
X11()
plot(0,0, xlim=c(0,10), ylim=c(0,10))
# Staves:
for (i in c(seq(from=2,to=2.8,by=0.2),seq(from=4,to=4.8,by=0.2)))
{
abline(h=i)
}
it is enough.
Best wishes,
Atte Tenkanen

P.S.
By the way, right now the demo(Hershey) seems not to work in OSX version R
2.4.1. ...
I get a message
i - i + 1
Error in deparse(ei, control = c(showAttributes, useSource)) :
invalid multibyte string

Re: [R] Hershey fonts for musical notation?
Hello Christophe, Thanks a lot! This is what I need. My purpose is to generate chords and I need interactive responses straight in R. I can output midi event lists as csv-files and convert them with a nice midicsv-program in linux- or OSX-console. Then it is easy to convert midi files to notes with Finale or other music notation program.

I get a message i - i + 1 Error in deparse(ei, control = c(showAttributes, useSource)) : invalid multibyte string But it does should work in R-devel, which deparses differently. The issue is the use of a UTF-8 locale and the Hershey byte codes are indeed an invalid string in such a locale.
