2010/11/6 Ed Kelly<br>In fact, it's a painful process. The kind of object you
are talking about would be much nicer - but only if it could also cope
with complete rhythmic elements (ties, beaming, time sigs etc) for me.<br></blockquote><br>I absolutely think that rhythmic elements should be added. I thought the best would be to have an object just for pitches, another just for rhythm and maybe one that displays both.<br>

I still think you could do all the CAC 'logic' in Pd and use
external tools for the music notation part.<br></blockquote><br>I could do it, no doubt about it, and I think that I will eventualy (I'm having some troubles with jack in my computer though, but that's another problem). Still, what I want is something to display the pitches inside Pd while I'm working with the algorithms, honestly, all those hacks are not as good as a tool like those from PWGL or OpenMusic. I know that Pd was not tought as a CAC program, but on the other side, It was not tought as a video rendering software either...<br>

it's supposed to be used with Pd too.<br>Fomus is very functional to transpose numerical data flow into musical notation<br></blockquote><br>Looks nice. Didn't have the chance to try it yet. It can solve a lot of problems but, again, the ideal would be to display the notation at the same time as I do the math. Now that I think about it, transforming the notation into a Lilypond/Sibelius/Finale/MusicXML/PostScript file should be a second step, the first is to have a notation interface inside Pd. The notation display tools form PWGL and OpenMusic work that way: after you are happy with the results, than you can export to you notation software.<br>
<br>Don't get me wrong, all those ideas were very very helpful and I will try them, but since we are just talking about an (yet) hypothetical tool, I think we should consider what would be the best thing to have for that poupose. Pd has a lot of potential as a CAC tool (we are already doing it) and a notation display is something that I feel is essential for that task.<br>
