half copyrighted

Yota — 2008-11-29T09:31:11

Hi, I ask you, even if it's merely related to mutopia. But I need a bit of your experience on copyright/left. I would like to publish some sheets under an open licensing scheme (let's say creative commons). The "edition" (the notes printed, lilypond sources files etc..) would be freely available for copy, modification (under restricted terms) and distribution etc... But the "music" itself would remain the property of the composer, with all the right granted by the law in the country of the composer : both moral AND patrimonial rights (whereof the right to be paid for a public performance, via organisms like the french SACEM, etc...) The goal would be 1 - to remunerate alive composers 2 - to allow students to try sheets and rehearse, for free (free as free beer) 3 - to allow people to easily arrange the sheets for new instruments (thanks to lilypond sources) I now have a problem of wording. How could I say unambiguously that "this edition is released under the terms of the CC-SA (c) J. Smith 2008" "the composer is a member of the SACEM don't forget to declare your performances" ? Hop, Yota

Help with corrections

Chris Sawer — 2008-10-15T20:01:39

Hi all, We have had quite a few people sending in corrections recently, which is great news. The ability to correct mistakes in the archive is one of Mutopia's main advantages over other sheet music sites. However... many of the pieces in question were created with old versions of LilyPond. I have several installed on various virtual machines but often don't have the right one. Unfortunately I am struggling to find the time to make these corrections so am wondering if anyone would like to help? Basically the pieces in question either need upgrading to a current LilyPond version, or an old version of LilyPond needs to be compiled and installed (usually non-trivial on modern machines). Would anyone like to help out with this? The ideal would be for someone to offer to be in charge of making corrections; they would check that the correction is valid, and upgrade/update the files on Mutopia as appropriate. Chris

I set up draft.wikilily.org if anyone wants to have a go at it - set up a talk page or put a few .ly sources up - be my guest. I think the DNS stuff has propagated. -Mike

New "Free cultural works" label

Valentin Villenave — 2008-06-05T06:21:17

Hi Chris, hi everybody, as you may have noticed, the Creative Commons have just created a new label that marks "free" works as in "compatible with FSF logic"; I think you might be interested in having a look at: http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/8051 Perhaps that could be interesting for Mutopie licenses definitions, could it? Cheers, Valentin

1000 pieces

Chris Sawer — 2007-11-04T14:07:47

Hi, Just to let you know that the Mutopia archive reached 1000 pieces today! Many thanks to all of the contributors over the last eight years. The 1000th piece was, appropriately enough, "Untitled" contributed by Stan Sanderson at 0304 GMT this morning. Incremental improvements to the archive/website continue. The most recent is a "change history" feature allowing you to see what has changed when a piece has been updated, be it a correction, for example: http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=1075 or additional movements/instruments, for example: http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=1026 I intend to update the website making it clearer that corrections are accepted and encouraged. I have a large number of LilyPond versions installed on my system (some using virtualization with old versions of Linux), so updating most pieces is relatively simple. Further improvements are to come, not least the updating of the CGI-generated pages (music info + search results) to be fully XHTML/CSS based. Regards, Chris

IMSLP

Geoff Lehr — 2007-10-20T16:32:32

Hey all, Just so you know (and some of you may already), IMSLP is going through a rough spot right now after having received a(n unfounded, IMHO) cease and desist from UE. It's offline for the time being. Thanks, Geoff

Fingering numbers

Stjepan Brbot — 2007-10-14T21:45:55

Hi all, when one defines fingering numbers for notes with slurs, numbers are positioned always over slur line (if it if upper slur). That could be very high, too much for corresponding note. How to define that slur position is ignored for fingering numbers. I want that fingering numbers are positioned over note regardless of slur line.

Full bar rest not horizontally centered

Stjepan Brbot — 2007-10-14T21:14:09

Hi all, how to horizontally center full bar rest? Now when I put only rest in empty bar it is rendered on first beat instead of horizontal center.

Pedal mark (Ped*) distance

Stjepan Brbot — 2007-10-14T21:06:39

Hi all, how I can control the vertical distance between lower stave and pedal marks line? Sometimes when I want to squize more staves on one page my Pedal line is to high.

Vertically centered dynamics signs

Stjepan Brbot — 2007-10-13T21:50:07

Hi all, as a new member and newbie for LilyPond I have one question; is it possible to define that all dynamics signs (ppp, pp, ..., fff, crescendo, decrescendo, ...) should be vertically centered between left hand and right hand piano staves? Now when I define note with e.g. piano dynamics like c\p my "p" vertically and horizontally follows my note (below), sometimes is higher sometimes lower. I'd like all dynamics signs in my score to be vertically centered by default. Thx in advance Stjepan

[meta] Can we add this mailing list to Gmane?

Unknown — 2007-07-24T21:18:20

Hi all, I recently started using Gmane (http://www.gmane.org), a free mail-to- news gateway that allows mailing list users to view messages through a Usenet newsreader. A bunch of high-profile open source projects (including LilyPond) use Gmane, so I was writing to see whether there's any opposition to adding mutopia-discuss to Gmane. (Gmane already includes a group for the apparently-defunct mutopia-announce list.) If we were to do so, everyone would be able to post to and read the list just as before, but it would also be possible to view the list through a newsreader. Gmane has a comprehensive FAQ at http:// gmane.org/faq.php, and information on adding a list is available at http://gmane.org/add.php. If there's no significant opposition to this idea within a couple of days, I'll go ahead and add the list myself.

Mozart Sonate facile, first try

Unknown — 2007-07-24T21:18:15

Hello, I have just completed the transcription of the first movement of this sonata from an IMSLP source. That version has a lot of annotations that I'm sure are not in the original urtext. Anyway they may be useful to study the piece. This first version surely has some mistakes that I will correct later, but I have few questions about lilypond: 1.- How to make a trill span in a single mesure for a single note without invading another mesure? (mesure 25, line 89). Besides it should finish with a grace (see mesures 25 and 69 in IMSLP version). 2.- I am using several transpositions of repeated parts. The notes go fine but of course the transposed fingering is not right. Is there a way to assign different fingering to different transpositions? 3.- Finally, lilypond complains about being unable to end slurs when they are oppened or closed at different relative blocks. What should I do? Thank you in advance for any hint. Alejandro Sierra -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
