re contribution

Greetings,

I posted mid last year that I would be willing to help with mutopia, mostly
on some administrative things like getting some of my submissions
in place.   Unfortunately I was delayed on a project (barn roof) until now.

So now I am back and would like to work on my queued project.
I have the links for the readme.html and have looked at the git url.

Please advise what I can do as my last submission has some files
with japanese hiragana text and I would like to see how they come
out mutopiaproject.org

thanks

Lilypond web-editor

[Thanks to Dean Herington for the translation]

Hi, I posted this message on the english-speaking list, it’s about Mutopia, so i post it on this list too.
Please read on the english list at first: http://old.nabble.com/Experimental-Web-based-Lilypond-Editor-td33242123.html#a33242123

Hello,

I've tried in vain to write my message in
English, but given the difficulty I've had, I'm
posting in French, hoping that someone will post
it to the English-speaking list...
We could discuss it here [on the French-speaking
list], but there's more response on the
English-speaking list!

It would be interesting to combine some of the
Mutopia files with this online editor, especially
melodies and songs, to make it easy to transpose
these scores automatically without having to
copy/paste the source code, add the \transpose
command, etc.  Maybe a simple interface could be
created for this specific purpose?

I use Mutopia mainly for this purpose, and with
this feature I would be able to share [the
transposed scores] with my singer friends who
aren't comfortable installing and using Lilypond
(or with computers in general).

I hope I've been clear.  Thanks!
Calixte

Hi Calixte,
(for future conversations: feel free to send me whatever messages you
need to post (either on LilyPond or Mutopia mailing lists) and I'll
translate for you.)

Yes, Nicolas Sceaux had a similar idea a while back. It does require a
lot of work and resources, though: web development, debugging,
computing power, security risks etc.

This online editor certainly works well for simple scores but for
longer scores (with \includes etc.) it's not so simple.

Cheers,
Valentin

I'd rather see Lilypond support a command line option to transpose the score.

I posted so many feature requests to Lilypond lists lately, I'll  
appreciate if someone else posts this one.

That sounds like a nice project to be working on.  :-)

Thanks for the offer of help last year. Quite a number of people 
responded, and our plan was to put in place a system to allow the work 
to be distributed and co-ordinated amongst volunteers.

Unfortunately there have been some problems with the system that was 
installed (FusionForge). It is not currently in a fully usable state 
which is preventing us from making real progress.

I don't have any time to work on it now. If anyone has experience of 
FusionForge, or fancies diving into a large PHP/MySql based project to 
figure out how to make it work, then let us know.

In the meantime I am dealing with new music contributions (not doing 
very well at staying up-to-date, sorry) and Javier is helping out with 
corrections and fixes.

Ultimately all files end up in Git, and are compiled using latest stable 
LilyPond on my Ubuntu box (currently Ubuntu 11.04 with LilyPond 2.14.2 
from the LilyPond website).

If you want to send me an example piece I would be happy to run it 
through and send you back the PDF.

Regards,

Chris

Oh yeah, about that: as you may have noticed, I've been struggling for
a while to install Redmine, which seems better documented than
FusionForge (and it's less of a mess). I have made a SQL dump from the
FusionForge database (there were only 6 entries at this time). I
didn't want to tell you about it before I could reach some kind of a
result...

I miss FlySpray, it was the easiest bug-tracker I've ever installed!
But it's been left unmaintained for several years now. (Now, back to
Redmine and this pretty bizarre RoR thing...)

Cheers,
Valentin.

Re: re contribution

If the project is already hosted with github is there an issue with using the github issue tracker?  Maybe it
isn't the most welcoming for non-technical contributors but surely there would be a way to interface
between something simple and the github issue APIs?

Unfortunately the github issue tracker is a bit too simplistic.

We really need some way of categorising issues, eg. to separate code 
changes to the website backend, corrections of errors in pieces, 
updates, etc. and the github tracker doesn't allow this, as far as I know.

However it sounds like Valentin is working on things (thanks Valentin!) 
and I look forward to seeing the system when it is up and running.
