Lilypond or the art of making scores (I)-Cumbia Tango

musical notation is an activity that can and should be approached from a computer in contemporary musical life. In music education, in practice amateur and professional musical performance, in composition, orchestration, intellectual property registration, etc.., Etc., Etc., Is always present musical notation. From the legendary Finale version 1.0, released in 1987 for Macintosh to the current (2010), through Encore, Igor, Sibelius and a few others, all computer programs designed to meet the needs of musicians, music students and teachers in musical notation is concerned, have two characteristics in common, namely: 1) start from the paradigm "what you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) and 2) are licensed proprietary software.

musical notation, graphical phenomenon is highly complex (albeit as a sign system is simple and easy to learn). Reading and writing music can be relatively simple, but composing a piece (which is different to write music that is written in a score) to be suitable for publication or use, it is not. The art design scores are made primarily from nineteenth-century German newspaper, was a floor of a high quality and codification of what is a score "well done" that a man who puts his best efforts to master a art as the music makes it extremely difficult to master also have other art: to make scores. So there until the middle of last century the master engravers of scores, a job that is not learned in less than ten years. With the advent of computer music, publishers turned this noble profession at all, making it disappear like cartoonists disappeared Disney. A program and an operator occupied since that place.

An application that tries to show all the time what you want as a result you get, it lacks the ability to process the best location of graphic objects involved in musical notation, thus leaving the operator's hands many tasks it could be automated, for example may be the precise location of the numbers of bars, avoid collisions notes, articulations, slurs, etc..

Instead, an application that takes all the time in the world to process the best available graphic elements conforming a score frees the operator from routine tasks, in most cases, requires a knowledge of the design standards of a score, knowledge as we have said is not something you learn from the overnight, and that a student or a musician or music teacher usually ignored.

A proprietary license application may be a good choice for a publishing company, but is clearly exclusive to teachers, students and musicians in general, especially if they are economically marginalized these latitudes.

Instead, a GNU license application (free) makes it accessible to all stakeholders assistive technology to one of the oldest arts of mankind.

For those who want to expand on the topic addressed here today, I suggest following this link . At the same time promise to continue writing, in future installments, on Lilypond.

Which Wire Do I Cross On My Stereo

A friend invited me to a party. Musicalizar she was responsible for the meeting and, as expected, so from personal taste: the soundtrack to the film Underground was present that night and commented on my piece - "Looks like a Balkan cumbia" - drew the ire of the lady: "I hear other scales," "I do not think that this music has to do with that other "and a long list of gestures impossible to bring the reader through writing. To see us and tell us every day we went to an absence of two weeks. I suspected then that, while not wanting to and having been away from the intent, I had really touched a point that my friend left him with a status offense - "the truth offends" he said. But was that a truth half. Ofernderla To finish I had to find the other half of the truth: the g musical Januarys are but two, namely Tango and Cumbia. And this statement is not a theory, or at least not in the Western sense, which always involves a generalization, an abstraction and conceptualization (a grounds here today we can call ed theory only broadly). Is much closer to a knowledge expressed from afar the Scientific Method and from a location much closer to that of the Native Cultures of the Americas, more friends of the empirical, of metaphor and analogy, and many times friends of truth.

All music fit into one of two categories (tango, cumbia). So, in truth, "the Indian" with the idea just examples will understand: Bach, tango, Vivaldi, cumbia. Verdi, cumbia, Wagner, tango. Schönberg, tango, Stravinsky, cumbia. Mozart Requiem except , cumbia. The bolero, cumbia. Cumbia, cumbia. La cumbia "slum" tango. Gardel, cumbia.

The "method" was applied on the outside of the music with surprising results. Literature: Borges, tango, García-Márquez, cumbia. Countries: China, cumbia, Japan, tango. Russia, tango, Italy, cumbia (Uruguay can generate a conflict ....) Sports: boxing, cumbia, tennis, tango. Polo, tango, football, cumbia.

There are large areas that are generally defined as tango and cumbia, but inside harbor subspecies of the same or different nature. Religion and football, for example, are general cases cumbia. However, Judaism and Buddhism is tango is cumbia, but within that overall context. Boca Juniors and Velez Sarfield is cumbia tango. Messi, tango, Maradona, cumbia ... Football, We said, cumbia.

Even the "theory" can be itself and thus become "meta" and say she is cumbia.

I invite you to add to the brief list here started tango and cumbia cases found in the entire spectrum of human cutura.

The paths of knowledge akin

In any human activity is needed to search for knowledge, more depth and richness in its own knowledge of the field studies and in which it operates. The interesting symptom is that, come a long way from the path chosen, the traveler begins to feel that roads different than that chosen by him are intertwined with theirs, and having them in sight, finds that they do not differ too much in the face of the pathway by which is passing. Thus, literature and history, martial arts and dance, and music and computer are no longer far between, but cousins.

But in the paths of knowledge, on motorways, it takes its toll.

The knowledge, like money, is one of the worst things of this world distributed. But unlike those who have material needs, who is a cultural poor most of the times known to be by not having too obvious symptoms. "It was like of what one is able to recognize "(Adorno)," Only one is able to re-learn what you know "(a human being with logical thinking)," The people do not like that "(a demagogue)," Why? Why do not you know? "(A nosy noisy).

Knowledge, like money, circulating, and circulating in society at this level is what both individually and socially it was and is being built. And how easy is suspected or not only that knowledge comes to us it is for our professional field. At the same time, we generate knowledge that we, through the channels available to us we have to move. Major movement will then have that knowledge which is transmitted most powerful channels, access channels that are individuals or groups of individuals more powerful. Power, knowledge, knowledge, power.

already know: a few individuals in our society freely on the paths of knowledge, these roads can take us to regions of an unexpected depth and richness. At that point the roads, and only there, he begins to glimpse the relationship, brotherhood interdisciplinary mentioned above. Before, everything seems disjointed, divorced, others. Before that point the way, the risk of becoming mere operator instead of civilized is extremely high.

If our intention is to reverse this ESAD things, the distribution of knowledge is concerned, is provided individuals and groups become powerful individuals. Individuals and groups clash, leading groups and individuals willing to bypass checkpoints and toll roads, ready to break down barriers and pave the roads prohibitive. Thus, and only then, literature and computer science, history and dance, or martial arts and music are not far between, but cousins.

Ninety-five cents

always "missing five for the weight." No matter how we treat life activity or who develops, in the best, always "there are five for the weight."

few are not (especially in the field of art) feel or think they do (art) is a matter of "inspiration" rather than "sweating." If inspiration is a direct line to the deity, one must know that that line is almost always "busy" and that her access only the most insistent. Who insists, sweat, and many who never sweat stop giving them "busy" when calling the direct line to the deity. Consequently, the outcome of their work, "I need five for the weight." Others do not even try, considering him a iúutil effort, contact the afterlife, nor expect to be called. This scheme

-inspiration-perspiration-not alien to the writer of this text, and is expected then that these words, after they have been worked and reworked, revised and re-review, "are missing five for the weight" .

Sweat, job search or not a successful connection with the 0-800-70-7-GOD, represents, in optimal case, 95% of all that is desirable as regards expected results, 5% remaining (the "five for weight) are never guaranteed. And who, touched by the magic wand, able to call without sweating all the time, the results of their actions usually can tell they do not exceed 5% of everything desirable.

What can you expect from this blog as to learn from him something to read and write music? In the most optimistic of readers, "ninety-five cents." If someone sees a 97, 99 or 100%, I was not.
