The actual PR for the new excerpts dialog.

Last week

Last week I didn't change much on my project, I just added a test to make sure part creation is working. A benefit of the actual implementation is that there always has to be a track map, so all the old tests are testing the same things but the part creation itself has changed. The fact that the creation of part doesn't differ significant from a part with just a

Hi,
I thought it would be nice to show you some soundfonts I discovered that use new features of Zerberus. Today I want you to show "Natural Concert Guitar" by Markus Fiedler.

You can get it here - and find more information about it on this website (alas it is in german). It uses a modified creative common license - it is based on a CC-BY-NC-SA. It is modified in the way that it allows commercial usage under "normal

Hi,
this week is the midterm week. So half the work should be done. I think we're pretty good. All things I wanted to do to Fluidsynth are there and working and just need a little polishing :) And we're doing very good on Zerberus. I think we would be able to ditch Fluidsynth by the end of this GSoC in favor of Zerberus. That would mean a lot more flexibility for soundfont designers and ease of use for users

Hi,
I wanted to show you some of the progress of Zerberus. For these examples I used the SSO sfz soundfont. But I would like you to tell me which other soundfonts might be interesting to play with?

So I wanted to show how important looping is and so I took something slow - and what could be better than Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings? I used this score.

So here is it in MuseScore 2.0.3 and here my

This was my fourth week working on note entry with MuseScore for Google Summer of Code. Last week I began the task of analysing the user's realtime input to make it look more like actual music. This week I reached what is probably the most difficult aspect of the analysis - the separation of overlapping notes into different voices.

This week’s summary:

• Basic voice separation in semi-realtime mode.

Still to do:

• Rhythmical note groupings based on time signature.

Voice separation

Hello,
This week I made a PR with the implementation of the basic text annotation. Here is the link :
https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/2666
There are a few commits within the PR which correspond to different "versions" of the implementation.
The first version creates a staff text and just uses a different style for an annotation to distinguish it from a staff text. However, the goal was to have a new element for annotation.
This is done in the latest commit.
There were

Hi everyone,
this week was about improving Zerberus even more! It now supports sfz 1 volume envelopes. So the most important features are there. I hope I can show it to you in one of the next blog post what it sounds like now!

I also investigated more on the legato side (as the post from yesterday shows) I also implemented the feature that the sound bends (pitchwise) to the next one - which sounds quite good for strings for

This week I finished the GUI for the new excerptsdialog. This is an important step, because it is now possible to test the function with different scores and choose the voices individually.
My actual PR.

Achievements

As already said I finished the GUI. I didn't had much problems with it, but it was quite a big change on the dialog, so it did take its time. Major change was to use QTreeWidgetItems instead of QListItems for the actual parts

Hi,
last couple of days I was investigating in legato realization since Isaac Weiss was not happy with the current sound and I also thought that there might be some improvement. Even though I didn't found it as problematic as him. But here are my results on that topic. This post uses a lot of spectrograms - if you're unfamiliar with this type of diagrams you might have a look here.

A spectrogram basically displays frequency on the y-axis

So, I realized that it had been quite a while since I wrote part 3. It was simply a variety of reasons why there was a gap. If you didn't read part 3 or the other parts, I encourage you to read them.

I also came to realize that this is my first blog post of the summer. I'm glad it's the summer time. For a while, I sort of had flashbacks of school, I had the mentality I had
