Welcome to Mastodon, @MusicEncoding !
The Music Encoding Initiative is a community-driven and open-source effort for encoding musical documents in a machine-readable structure.
https://music-encoding.org
The tools and resources they help create are free to all, and they are one of the most welcoming and friendly communities I know.
This is taken from a page of music I wrote in 2017 for piano solo which Mei Yi Foo performed in 2019: https://soundcloud.com/chosamuelmusic/meiyi-foo-performs-vatni-live-recording
I feel like re-engraving it in #lilypond. The original score was engraved in NoteabilityPro (https://www.opusonemusic.net/NoteAbility/), a super whack and flexible software only availble on OSX, but made stuff like this super easy to engrave.
Current side quest: setup lilypond-mode in emacs
There are only 3 hours left to bid on #FreeSoftware #memorabilia! Bid now before time runs out: https://u.fsf.org/466 #FSF #FSF40 #GNU #Amiga3000UX #VT220 #TeX #Terminus-est #Savannah #gawk #lilypond #emacs
Thinking about writing something about my time learning #lilypond and the different techniques I've learnt. I think there's still more for me to get familiar with though.
Wollte privat mal in den #Notensatz reinschnuppern. Grafischer Editor oder #Lilypond? Bin dann erst etwas davor zurückgeschreckt, jetzt langwierig eine neue Syntax zu lernen, und habe #MuseScore installiert. Auf den ersten Blick sehr schick. Dann hatte ich aber doch die ganze Zeit das Handbuch mit den Tastaturshortcuts offen, und irgendwann hat das Programm unwiederbringlich einen Achteltakt verschluckt. Am Ende also doch lieber #Plaintext, #Frescobaldi installiert, happy.
Last piece of album, thanks so much for listening!
Here's #acoustic #guitar playing video for
#original #music piece "To the Land of No Return",
from album "Wherever the Wind Takes Me",

Thanks especially tools: #lilypond and #csound !
Future plans:
- digging deep to #earlymusic and #improvisation stuff;
- covering vgm #soundtrack music;
- not forgetting #dungeon aesthetics.
Hope you enjoy and until next time!
