  1. Context: I do public outreach presentations on AI aimed at senior citizens, and yesterday I had an attendee who was blind. I have handouts...and was embarrassed that I didn't have anything for her.)

    So I'd like a Braille version of that handout. It's just regular text and very straightforward to do in Braille. (If you know about good transcription/printing services for this, let me know.)

    But naturally I'm wondering about math and CS.

    How does math notation work in Braille? I'd like to see how, say, derivatives and integrals work in Braille.

    And source code! What is *that* like?

    And how the hell does significant whitespace work? I'm sighted and have good IDE support to help me do indentation and I still muck up my Python code. How does Python work in Braille? Does it work...at all?

    (I'm just interested right now in *reading* -- either a printed document or some tactile reader hardware.)

  3. Lilypond question:

    Lilypond is much nicer to engrave in than Dorico/MuseScore, but the latter two are much nicer for composing (e.g., when I need to quickly insert/re-order things), at least with my current Lilypond knowledge.

    Does anyone have suggestions on inserting/re-ordering material in Lilypond, or should I just do Dorico -> MusicXML -> musicxml2ly?

  6. 💪 New Release of BESSER, now with support to create #database #diagrams using the #ER #notation 💪

  8. Trying out ABCarus for local editing of abc music . I'm running the AppImage on and so far for the simple edits I've done its working well! I've been using online WYSIWYG abc editing tools for years but always wanted something local. This allows you to type out abc notation and sheet music is rendered in real time in split screen, also provides a player so you can hear the music.

  9. Currently on a test phase for migrating to #Linux. Looks good so far, but I'm still struggling with my need for #music #notation #software. #MuseScore runs just fine, but MuseHub is not available for Linux. Instead only a limited version is provided which just lets you install the free (okayish) Muse sound fonts (not the really good ones I happened to buy a few months back on Windows). Since MuseScore also doesn't support VST3 plugins, this is a real bummer. #FOSS #opensource (1/2)

    Do you hate XML as much as the rest of the world? Do you have an unreasonable love for Lisp(-alikes) and DSLs?

    This project allows you to create musical scores in MusicXML without typing any XML at all; similarly, you can "import" MusicXML and have that converted to Fermata Lisp:

    A full REPL is currently just leaving the design phase and will probably get its first commits tomorrow ...

    MuseScore is a wonderful notation program with a graphic interface and a text file interface.

    So you can change the text file. See the score. And play the score.

    MuseScore is open source and has a music notation website of pieces scored with MuseScore.

  12. Searched for:

    "clean and print sheet music in gimp"

    Found this gem:

    guzhengalive.com/digitizing-sc

    tl;dr:
    Tools > Selection Tools > By Color Select
    (threshold ~45)
    Click note head.
    Select > Grow (3 pixels)
    Select > Invert and press delete

    musescore is also a notation program. I used it in one of my projects because finale wouldn't allow the varying bar lengths my composition required.

    The cool thing about the musescore notation software is that you can write text files that musescore converts to notation meaning that you can write programs that write text files that musescore can convert to notation.
