WikiLily

I set up draft.wikilily.org if anyone wants to have a go at it -
set up a talk page or put a few .ly sources up - be my guest.
I think the DNS stuff has propagated.

repository

Hello,

I played with mutopia a few weeks, updating and formatting very old scores (lilypond 1.3 and older :) ) and I have a couple of ideas I would like to submit :

1. It could be nice to host the mtopia .ly files in a repository, decentralised if possible (like bazaar)
it is compliant with licensing policies (since Mutopia urge people to use "open" licences)
it would enable a quicker and safer correction of typos (as for wikis)
it would enable contributors to update the source on a regular basis, and so follow the never stopping improvements of the lilypond code
2. It could be nice to have a coding policy
One issue while rewriting .ly files is the mess of the source. Contributors are not computer geeks and we could perhaps help them with some clear but complete templates and guidelines.
For example, screwing the maintainability of a .ly file is the mix of notes and scheme code (which could be easily solved by the use of nicely written functions in a separated file).

On Openstreetmap.org (a collaborative mapping project) it is said that the data should not be tweaked so that the resulting map comply to the expected one. Instead, one should wait for the engine (here lilypond.exe) to be improved so that clean data produce clean map...
This is not a chinese proverb but I think we could gain in maintainability by reducing tweaks as much as possible (or at least, by moving them away from the notes)

have a nice day

Yota

Beethoven quartet no. 9

The contents of the archive are entirely as-is, but if a contributor cannot be contacted, having left no address, and will not set right a problem on their own...

and if no one involved with the site (I gather, and this often can work well) has responsibility for setting right an issue involving a simple matter, I am surprised positively that the contents of the archive are still as accurate, relatively speaking, representations of their composers' musics as they are, and how long they will remain so. 

As it is, I am also surprised that for months on months now, the slow movement of Beethoven's opus 59 no. 3 is _still_ up there as "opus 53 no. 3"... (there is no opus 53 no. 3. Opus 53 is the C major piano sonata nicknamed "Waldstein." That does seem to be a good typeset of the second movement of the opus 59 no. 3 quartet, though.)

How active is the project these days?

I just submitted the first of Cavallini's 30 Caprices to the contributions address, and I just wanted to check on the current project status. I see there hasn't been much activity here lately: is the site being actively updated?

Thanks.

New "Free cultural works" label

Hi Chris, hi everybody,

as you may have noticed, the Creative Commons have just created a new
label that marks "free" works as in "compatible with FSF logic"; I
think you might be interested in having a look at:
http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/8051

Perhaps that could be interesting for Mutopie licenses definitions, could it?

Cheers,
Valentin

Hi,

Just to let you know that the Mutopia archive reached 1000 piece s today!

Many thanks to all of the contributors over the last eight years. The
1000th piece was, appropriately enough, "Untitled" contributed by Stan
Sanderson at 0304 GMT this morning.

Incremental improvements to the archive/website continue. The most
recent is a "change history" feature allowing you to see what has
changed when a piece has been updated, be it a correction, for example:
http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=1075

or additional movements/instruments, for example:
http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=1026

I intend to update the website making it clearer that corrections are
accepted and encouraged. I have a large number of LilyPond versions
installed on my system (some using virtualization with old versions of
Linux), so updating most pieces is relatively simple.

Further improvements are to come, not least the updating of the
CGI-generated pages (musi c info + search results) to be fully XHTML/CSS
based.

Regards,

Chris

IMSLP

Hey all,

Just so you know (and some of you may already), IMSLP is going through
a rough spot right now after having received a(n unfounded, IMHO)
cease and desist from UE.  It's offline for the time being.

Thanks,

Geoff

Fingering numbers

Hi all,

when one defines fingering numbers for notes with slurs, numbers are 
positioned always over slur line (if it if upper slur). That could be very 
high, too much for corresponding note. How to define that slur position is 
ignored for fingering numbers. I want that fingering numbers are positioned 
over note regardless of slur line.

Full bar rest not horizontally centered

Hi all,

how to horizontally center full bar rest? Now when I put only rest in empty 
bar it is rendered on first beat instead of horizontal center.
