Hello everyone, This is my first post and I would like to introduce myself. I started accidentaly to program one month or so ago in python/midiutils and have tried also python / mingus. A few people told me independently about SCAMP, so I wanted to give it a try. By training I am not a musician, but I try to learn as a hobby.
I have two questions about this topic:
On Linux / Debian I get the correct sound, but how do I write this in an mp3 file?
The pdf does not get created. I installed abjad and lilypond (python-ly plus the debian package and from mingus lilypond works) but I get the error:
File “isoplay.py”, line 156, in
performance.to_score(composer = “matt schumaker”, title = “iso”).show()
File “/home/xxx/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/scamp/score.py”, line 642, in show
abjad().show(self.to_abjad_lilypond_file())
File “/home/xxx/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/scamp/score.py”, line 575, in to_abjad_lilypond_file
lilypond_code = abjad().lilypond(abjad_object)
AttributeError: module ‘abjad’ has no attribute ‘lilypond’
Any idea how to resolve this?
Edit:
The second question could be resolved using abjad==3.2 as described here:
Glad you found the solution to your first problem! As for the mp3 file, as far as the built-in soundfont playback with SCAMP is concerned, I haven’t yet implemented this. It’s definitely on my list of things to implement as I approach version 1.0, since I know it’s useful to many people.
The reason it wasn’t a top priority is that the main role of the soundfont playback is for prototyping, getting a sense of what a piece would sound like as you work on it. For actually creating a recording, you’re usually going to better results using new_midi_part() to route the MIDI to a digital audio workstation or external program.
Also, you can record the soundfont playback with a little effort, by routing sound playback in your computer. See:
Thanks MarcEvanstein for your response. I find Scampster very cool, but it would be nice to have a midi output in file if that is possible (or mp3). Also do not hurry to continue the great work you have done!
Definitely! Saving to MIDI is probably an easier and sooner priority; saving to mp3 will require some restructuring behind the scenes, but is definitely on my list!
