Using the MIDI and original XML file, I can use my python script to get each note’s information, specifically, the attribute I want is listed below: The output file has 2 formats PDF and MIDI, the filename called: `1_Bach_Prelude1_replace.mid` and `1_Bach_Prelude1_replace.pdf` Then use the lilypond command “ lilypond -dmidi-extension=mid MyFile.ly ” to convert the. 1_Bach_Prelude1.ly`, then output the file named just add the `_replace` afterward, like: `1_Bach_Prelude1_replace.ly` The steps 2 and 3 I wrote a python code to replace the tempo and want to change the instrument clef, see the attachment “replace_tempo.py”.Ĭommand example: `python replace_tempo.py -path. ly file, eliminate all the tempo expressions, and set the tempo to BPM=60.įor the same reason as 2nd step, this step aims to get a more stable note duration. ly file, convert the instrument into Violin or Cello, no matter what kind of instrument the score was originally made for, because the String instrument will get a more stable note duration of MIDI file than the Woodwind or Piano. Such as -nd, do not convert directions (^, _ or -) for articulations, dynamics, etc.Ĭommand example : musicxml2ly -v -nd -midi -output="1_Bach_Prelude1.ly". Ideally, I want to eliminate all the decorations, like accent, staccato, any kind of ornament, and tempo-related _expression_. I don't believe anyone is taking offense to this post but just in case.My workflow is needed to be an automation script, cause I want to create a tool to generate the annotation of each note automatically. One of the best things about Dorico is the ease of keyboard-only inputs and shortcuts, which appeals to people who like the efficiency of software like LilyPond and Mup. Dorico is, in my opinion, the best offering as of now, and my money is on that horse to succeed over the competition. r/musicengravingtips is pretty dead.Įdit: I want to be clear that I'm not claiming that text-based is superior. Not sure if there is another subreddit that would like to see this. The naturals in beat 2 are a tad close to eachother, and the dots on the dotted eighths in beat 4 do not line up vertically, but I think that treatment is still acceptable per Behind Bars guidance on dotted notes in different voices. The only adjustments were some tweaking of the positions of dynamic marks and rests to match the original which is scored densely.Īnother example is inspired by this Reddit thread. Here is an example of the engraving, using Debussy's Prelude IV "Les sons et le parfums tournent dans l'air du soir", as this was used in this Reddit thread for comparison of some other notation programs. Despite these downsides, I think at least any Lilypond advocate owes it to themselves to give Mup a try. The major downside is that there is limited output to MIDI, PDF output is only possible through conversion from PostScript (using Ghostscript), and there is no MusicXML output at this time, although this has been requested on their Github. The output quality is very high, and can hold its own against other paid programs, especially when you consider that it's free. I think the input style and parameters are less verbose than Lilypond. I have dabbled with Lilypond/Frescobaldi and I believe that Mup is almost as powerful. The input is text-based, and is naturally the analogue to Lilypond. Mup has been developed by Arkkra Enterprises since 1995, and is still in active development today. It is included in Linux distributions, although I use Windows, it's also available for Mac. I started using it in 2008 when a license was just $29 it became free and open-source in 2012. I've gotten back into score writing and I've been comparing the modern Dorico to a much lesser-known (essentially unknown) program called Mup (stands for Music Publication program). ![]()
