Laying out everything from a simple lead sheet to an orchestral score is a pure joy using MuseScore, and if you know a little bit about how musical manuscripts work, the learning curve is not bad at all. There are plugins that will do everything from providing tools to people who score films like me or just someone who wants to covert sheet music into harmonica, guitar or uke tabs. If you are a musician or composer or use musical manuscripts, I highly recommend MuseScore. I use MuseScore every single day and it's every bit the equal of any of the expensive music score programs like Sibelius or Finale. Until Wikifonia, musicians had to tote around poorly-transcribed sheets or Real Books with ugly calligraphy.

#DENEMO VS MUSESCORE ARCHIVE#

Luckily, some kind soul in Belgium rar'd the entire archive of Wikifonia and smuggled it out to a guy I know via Mega and that great resource for musicians still exists (and can be found at the Wikifonia fan page at Facebook, but you'll have to dig a bit). They were also the people behind the phenomenal Wikifonia website, which aggregated crowd-sourced musical scores, and single-handedly kept the Great American Songbook vital and allowed thousands of young jazz musicians to access online, transposable scores of hundreds of jazz standards until it was forced off the air by music publishers and Hal Leonard. I have nothing but respect for the people who've developed it. never did get my hands on a yamaha DX-7, though.MuseScore is one of the most important open source applications installed on my computer. Unfortunately it is japanese app store only at the moment.Īs an aside, I got into computing by having access to a great music teacher, a 128k+ spectrum and a borrowed from school casio CZ-101. Whilst there are some examples for education, they seem more along the lines of a teacher scoring for students than for student learning.Ī much more useful app would be something along the lines of the iphone app Gakufu released by Kawai this week which allows you to use a camera to grab an image from printed or handwritten notation.

The primary benefit from reading the site would be for university level composition courses, and sheet music engraving printers. I think lilypond is too advanced for little benefit, it's for writing a score, or appears more particularly for writing classical scores. i.e it is very much like programming but with a very specific intended outcome.

It's GNU (& hence free) and makes use of of text-based input that is then compiled to produce pdf sheet music. If it could come with onboard General MIDI sound files/synthesis that would be fantastic.īut a while ago I did some messing with a music engraving app called Lilypond. There are a few ways this device could be used for producing music - using a linux based sequencer for example,Īn output from a sequencer to the current incarnation of MIDI would be highly useful. Quote from Mark Hudson on August 3, 2011, 09:54 maybe think about how a few lessons might be actually delivered.

I just wonder if there is any scope to help develop an understanding of music notation by learning how to program it in this way - maybe as a joint project between the IT & Music depts.? The Lilypond syntax is quite easy to understand, so although very 'specialist' may have enough similarity to programming to perhaps make it a good introduction to some concepts?Īlthough take up in schools by music teachers might be a bit limited ( ) if there were any IT/Computing staff who were hobby musicians, they might find it interesting to try out?Īs it's free, the R.Pi might be a good platform to use it? I will give this some more thought.

Getting students using notation software is incredibly difficult as it requires specialist understanding of how to read/use music notation and then the software itself is usually very expensive. is the main website but there is a very recent (July 2011) site that has an online environment There are a few ways this device could be used for producing music - using a linux based sequencer for example, but a while ago I did some messing with a music engraving app called Lilypond.
