Raise self.nm arpeggio.NoMatch: Expected '/' or ',' or EOF

Errors

Description:

Hi folks! Strange little exception here: I’m trying to pass on some text to each note (different articulation types) so that I can later on edit the proper dynamics in Musecore. So I’m formatting the text with the proper cent derivation and the attributed articulation (from a dictionary).

I managed to make it work once for a short music bit but then this happens with longer bits :
Any idea ? Thanks !

Ah, this is an error with the parser for the note properties argument. Something that you’re sending it is confusing it; might be a bug in SCAMP. Can you track down the exact string you’re using for the note properties argument that causes the issue? Might help me track down a bug.

If you’re trying to get text annotations, it’s more foolproof to use a StaffText object directly, e.g.:

inst.play_note(60, 1, 1, StaffText("senza vib."))

And for annotating pitches, you can also turn on microtonal annotations, which may do what you want automatically:

engraving_settigns.show_microtonal_annotations = True

Thanks Mark!
I’ll try reformatting the text with StaffText. It originates from the line “instrument.play_note(int(pitch), vol, dur, f” {arti}")’. I did change the order of my dictionary and it seemed to have changed to the last elif line.

About microtonal annotations, I’m dealing with some specific demands from an ensemble that plays with tuners. They just want the derivation from the pitch, in cents so they can tune each note with the machine. They find it simpler this way.

Thanks again!

Update : works like a charm with StaffText !

Have a great day.

#5

Did you try engraving_settigns.show_microtonal_annotations = True? It’s not exactly that, but it adds a text annotation that shows the floating point pitch, so it’s pretty close to that.

Regardless, glad it works!

#6

Yes, did try it. It’s working great, they just want that other specific notation. Their score, their rules :wink:
