GSoC 2018: Score Comparison Tool — First Week

6 years ago • 0 comments

Hi everyone!

This week I had a bit less time to work than I expected — I had to finish my master work, and it took a bit longer than I supposed before. Anyway I finished it and could finally start my work on this score comparison project.

The first week was reserved in my plans for the preparatory work which would allow me to focus fully or almost fully on the work on the first part of my project:

GSoC 2018: Machine Learning Dataset for OMR - Week 1

6 years ago • 1 comment

Hey! :D
I have started working on the project. During the Proposal time, I worked on porting the changes from the imeta to the master branch of MuseScore. After that, during the Community Bonding period, I had discussions with Lasconic and Herve about the various issues that are there currently with the annotations and how do we want them in the XML. One by one, for a couple of issues, I got deeper into the codebase to understand the working

GSoC 2018: Score Comparison Tool for MuseScore

6 years ago • 0 comments

Hello!

I am Dmitri Ovodok, a master student in Saint Petersburg State University, and I am pleased to participate in this year's Google Summer of Code with MuseScore.

While working on a score one may often need to compare different version of the mastered score and identify those parts that were changed in it. One may also want to have a more convenient way to compare different scores, e.g. different arrangements of the same composition.

My GSoC project will be

6 years ago • 0 comments

Greetings,
I am Animesh Tewari, a Computer Science undergraduate at Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Noida.
About to begin this awesome journey of GSoC with MuseScore.

Project Goal:
The basic idea would be to support the current scenario of Audiveris OMR integration with MuseScore by accumulating a large correct dataset. The OMR needs to be successfully trained on a large dataset so that it can provide precise outputs which will help the Music community. To carry out this task, a

A Comparison between MuseScore 2, Finale v.25, Dorico, ScoreCloud Studio, and Noteflight

6 years ago • 7 comments

For those who do not know who I am, my name is Elwin, I was more active a few years back, and some of you older members know my piece "The Clowns". A lot of things have changed since then. I have decided to post a comparison of MuseScore, plus a few known ones out there, including Finale, and the new software, Dorico. I have looked at these Softwares as best as I could, but I have not tried all

OpenScore: Reserving a piece to transcribe

7 years ago • 3 comments

One way to get involved with OpenScore is by transcribing a piece on your own. This is a good option if you prefer to work independently and are reasonably confident in your abilities as a transcriber. (If you are less confident then you might prefer to sign-up to take part in a group transcription first, but bear in mind that you might have to wait a while before a place becomes available.) If you transcribe a piece on your own

OpenScore: Creating a template score

7 years ago • 0 comments

A template score is simply an empty score (no notes or symbols added) but with the correct title, composer, and all the right instruments added. Creating a template score is the first step to starting a transcription. You must create a template score before you can reserve a piece to transcribe for OpenScore.

Guidelines for template scores

Music is full of special cases so it may not be possible or appropriate to follow these guidelines in all situations. Ask if

OpenScore: Choosing a source edition

7 years ago • 0 comments

The source edition is the score (usually a PDF file) that you are basing your transcription on. You must choose a source edition before you can reserve a piece to transcribe for OpenScore.

Rules for source editions

The source edition used for all OpenScore transcriptions:

  • must be available on IMSLP
    • If an edition is not on IMSLP but is available elsewhere then consider uploading it to IMSLP yourself.
  • must be in the public domain worldwide (in all major countries/regions)

    • We
