Hi Hans,
This looks awesome!
I haven't seen any example of drums scores (I have been using Lilypond to
write some some time ago). Is it possible to write them or how hard would
it be to add support for them? Basically it requires:
1) several "melodies" on the same part: some with stems up and some with
stems down
2) changing some note symbols (cross, circled note, etc.), enclosing some
in parentheses (ghost notes)
3) support for annotations over/under the part (R and L for hands/foots)
and some notes (open hi-hat, etc.)
4) the ability to display only the middle line of the staff (e.g. for snare
drum parts)
(see http://web.mit.edu/merolish/Public/drums.pdf )
Best regards,
Sylvain

I am pleased to announce the release of Music Suite v1.7.
The Music Suite is a collection of Haskell libraries for composition, analysis and manipulation of music. It is generic enough to handle electronic music and non-Western music theory, as well as most aspects of common music notation. It can read and write many standard representations such as MIDI, MusicXML http://www.musicxml.com, Lilypond http://lilypond.org and ABC notation http://abcnotation.com/. Getting it
-
Install the Suite from Hackage:
cabal install music-suite -
Documentation and examples:
http://music-suite.github.io -
The source code is available on Github:
https://github.com/music-suite -
For bug reports, please use the relevant Github tracker:
https://github.com/music-suite/music-score/issues -
For questions, feedback and general discussion, see
music-suite-discuss@googlegroups.com
http://groups.google.com/d/forum/music-suite-discuss
Highlights
Some highlights of this release include:
- Many new *time containers*, including more fine-grained versions of Score and Behavior - Better interface for Score, Voice and Chord - Better interface to musical *aspects* (i.e. parts, pitches, dynamics and articulations) using lenses and traversals - Polymorphic update of musical aspects, so representation can change mid-traversal -
Now supports phrase-wise traversals of scores and voices - New SuperCollider backend - Restructuring of backend code in terms of a single class HasBackend - Backend can now be parameterized on container type, rather than just note type -
Better notation of dynamics and articulation
For the full notes, see:
https://github.com/music-suite/music-docs/blob/master/releases/Notes.md
Stability
Please note that the Suite is quite usable, parts of it are still experimental, and we expect the API to change slightly with every release up to v2.0.0 (think of it as optimistic versioning http://semver.org). If you have any problems with upgrading from a previous version, please post to the group below. Contributing
If you are interested in contributing to the Suite, please join the Github organization (see the link above). In addition to code, we appreciate contributions in the form of tutorials, examples or musical compositions. Hopefully we may soon have a showcase of works created with Music Suite, like Diagram's gallery http://projects.haskell.org/diagrams/gallery.html .
Sincerly,
Hans
