The simplest, most fundamental representation of music in our application’s music model is analogous to how a human listener perceives it, i.e. For a long time our application’s music model didn’t support them at all, because it wasn’t clear how best to support them in such a way that didn’t cause problems elsewhere. they do not follow the same rules for duration as normal, or rhythmic, notes. Grace notes are tricky creatures, because they are arrhythmic, i.e. Let’s talk about the ghost of Christmas past – what we have been working on since the last instalment of this diary at the end of September. But we are committed to developing an application that will redefine the state of the art in scoring software, and that can’t be done overnight.Įnough with the ghost of Christmas future. That’s a high bar for us to meet, but we are determined to clear it.ĭon’t get me wrong: we are going as fast as we can.
#MUSESCORE TRIPLETS PROFESSIONAL#
If our application is going to be worth the time and attention of professional composers, arrangers, engravers, copyists, and teachers, then it must not only have a critical mass of features, but it must also have both a more efficient workflow and a faster path to excellent results than the tools professionals are already using. We are still building up the core of our application’s functionality, but our approach remains to focus above all on quality, rather than speed. Over the past year, we have chosen and adopted a new application framework, introduced the basic editing loop, built the skeleton of a functional application, developed our step-time input method, added grace notes to our music model, added ties, articulations, ledger lines, time signatures, key signatures, clef changes, accidentals, beams, and so on, and so on. For us, the past year represents a lot of forward progress on our project, but the year ahead will bring more milestones on the road towards the release of our new application.Ī year ago, we were around nine months into the development of the music engine at the heart of our application, but really had no functional application to speak of: we had a test harness that could display only (unbeamed) notes and rests imported from MusicXML, but nothing in the way of interaction. As the year draws to a close, thoughts naturally turn to the events of the past twelve months, and indeed to the promise of the year ahead.
