I've been really enjoying working with Lilypond! Today I wrote about some more helpful ways to work with MIDI files in the terminal and quickly build Lilypond projects from Neovim:

CW: Transphobia, Harry Potter
“Every Harry Potter book, movie, video game, stage show ticket, theme park pass, and piece of merchandise that’s sold puts money into Rowling’s pocket, which she can use to keep her crusade against trans people going.”

Update: I found this (macOS) utility for playing MIDI files from the command line and it works great with Lilypond/Neovim!
https://ssb22.user.srcf.net/mwrhome/mac-midi.html
It's about a hundred lines of C, which means even if it's abandoned at some point I should be able to update it myself.
The problem with a lot of similar programs is they use e.g., fluidsynth, when what I want is to play the file back over the IAC bus into Max/MSP, SuperCollider/etc. This lets me choose the starting point in the MIDI file and easily play it into IAC from my terminal!

I hadn't noticed Lilypond was on a new version until just a bit ago — I saw `GNU LilyPond 2.26.0 (running Guile 3.0)` in the terminal and was momentarily very confused
Today I finally got around to joining the Lilypond mailing list and the music Stack Exchange to ask some questions, only to realize after the fact that the code I sent had just become outdated
Didn't actually need to change anything other than the version number & one meter thing, but still funny

I asked this question on the music Stack Exchange, and if anyone has an answer that would be greatly appreciated!
I'm looking for how to get the doubled trill line here in Lilypond, as well as ideally, multiple noteheads in the parentheses:

More success porting Lilypond/Frescobaldi capabilities over to Neovim: I can now easily do musical transformations on Lilypond notation!
I can transpose passages, double/halve the durations, dot/undot everything, apply a completely new rhythmic pattern, or remove repeated duration indicators or make them explicit again.
This uses the remote plugin feature on Neovim: https://github.com/reillypascal/nvim/tree/main/rplugin/python3

I've been using Lilypond to write musical notation with code, and here I write about how to get a convenient, smooth experience while writing that code in Neovim!
I'm definitely planning to stick with this, and I'll be writing about some more fun things to do with Lilypond soon.

While I prefer to bring my own text editor, the dedicated Frescobaldi editor is useful to play MIDI output into a virtual bus, and send that to Max to host some VSTs and my MIDI keyboard performance patch.

Finally taking the plunge and learning Lilypond! It's kind of like LaTeX for sheet music.
I'd been interested since the Finale debacle, and while Dorico has been nice, I'm finding that in many cases I prefer writing text files to working in a graphical program, so it made sense to give it a go.

I figured out how to get my RSS feed to be human-readable and nice-looking! I'd been wanting to do this to give people who aren't familiar with RSS an easier on-ramp to the stuff I care about. reillyspitzfaden.com/feed.xml #RSS #Atom #XML #HTML #CSS #XSL #XSLT #WebDev #IndieWeb #SmallWeb

I hadn't heard of it before, but it turns out there's a style format called XSLT that allows the browser to translate an XML file into HTML with CSS styling for display purposes.
Since my feed is Atom rather than RSS, I had a bit of trouble, but this post was helpful:https://andrewstiefel.com/style-atom-xsl/

I'd been wanting to do this to give people who aren't familiar with RSS an easier on-ramp to the stuff I care about.
I figure if someone new to RSS clicks on the link and just gets raw XML, they might think something is “broken” and not stick around, but now there's something human-readable and with instructions on how to follow it in a reader.

Also a microformats/semantic HTML question: is there a good accessibility argument for using microformats or other semantic markup for locations specifically?
I ask because I've soured a bit on structured data now that it feels like I'm just making it easier to slurp up my page for AI training.
I like the idea of making things richer and easier to use for humans, but apart from using microformats to add data to webmentions, I'm starting to consider paring back on how much I use them.

“It’s the natural result of fetal personhood laws and ideology: if a fetus or embryo is a person, then flushing or throwing away your miscarriage is ‘abuse’ or ‘desecration.’”

“The goal is to flood the zone with so much anti-birth control content that young women believe we’re encountering this content organically. In reality, what we’re experiencing is a coordinated effort by right-wing actors, steadily manufacturing our consent to ban birth control—and more.”

Wah-wah pedal + distortion + contact mic + metal box
I made an expression pedal -> MIDI device with an Arduino, and I'm using it to run a "wah-wah" pedal effect in Max/MSP, with a distortion at the end. I'm testing this out for some music I'm writing

I added a "notes" feed to my site! It's for microblogging-style (i.e., Mastodon-like) posts, and it's nice to have a low-stress place to write that I own. I'll be adding an RSS feed for it shortly to go alongside the main blog one. I'm also considering adding a photos feed as an Instagram/Pixelfed replacement that again, I own.

CW: uspol, abortion rights
“Rojas is not, however, facing charges for harming or endangering any women. Most abortions are exceedingly low risk and do not require a physician on hand; in 18 states, certified midwives can legally perform medication and procedural abortions. Self-managed medication abortions are routinely and safely carried out without any clinical supervision at all.”
