Import a Sibelius plugin to Musescore - or get paid for the job.
Hello friends,
as I am considering leaving Sibelius, there is one big problem. There is one plugin that I do need in Musescore.
Do you know if there is a way to import that plugin to Musescore? I know the person who wrote that plugin, there shouldn't be a problem to get the rights.
Or is anybody here who would be willing to write that plugin for the Musescore sphere? I'd be willing to pay you a couple hundred Euros.
I am very sure that that kind of plugin hasn't been written so far in Musescore, many people in Germany (church people) would love that plugin.
Greetings from Germany,
Ed

It would help it we knew what the Sibelius plugin does. Could you post a link to it, or, failing that, a detailed description of it?

I am attaching an example what the plugin does. In the upper part you see the sheet music of silent night. I need a plugin that changes the music into that numbering system. There are several steps that must be done by the plugin.

OK, so it not only notates pitches (but 'movable' numbers depending on key signature?), but also duration.
How does it notate notes longer than a (dotted) quarter , i.e. half, whole, brevis, longa

half note: a comma behind the number
whole note: two commas
brevis & longa: I don't know, I've never seen it anywhere
This kind of music is used by a very special group of churches in Germany (maybe several thousand people), I'm not sure if brevis & longa have ever been used in that kind of subcultur.

There are some similarities but definitely substantial differences.

So it is Jianpu notation, #141581: Add support for Jianpu numbered musical notation

It is not Jianpu, looks quite different.

It looks quite similar to me. There may be some differences, bunt no major ones as far as I can tell.
Similar enough to make this a substyle.

Do you think I could pay someone to do the work?
I am just a musician.
Does the Sibelius plugin help?

A Sibelius Plugin may not help much. Except it may show the algorithms used, Maybe you can attach it here?

Yes, the numbers are movable, number "1" is always the root note in major and the minor three in minor. Does that make sense? :)
In reply to Yes, the numbers are movable… by eklas0711
And the "1" (=root position) doesn't really change for the relative minor key? For example "1" for C major (the root of the major scale) would mean the note "c", but for A minor the note "a" (the root of the minor scale)?

C-Major:
c =1
d = 2
e = 3
f = 4
g = 5 and so on...
a-minor:
a=6
b (German h) = 7
c = 1
d = 2
...
# g = #5
... and so on...

So minor gets ignored, just the major counterpart gets used

Plugins can't add staves yet (requirement 1 for this).

Yes, the plugin has to hide or delete the 5-lines of the notes and and add/or overwrite one line.

Maybe a little bit OT: reminds me on a kind of solmization (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solmization) resp. the "Jale"-system (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jale_%28Musik%29), but instead of with numbers.

As with shape-notes, which force you to learn a new, crazy, ambiguous system of reading music, this seems to address the fear of the difficulty of reading music as opposed to the actual difficulty. Maybe it helps some people, what can I say, but ... I remember my own late father a very long time ago, who could sing a little but not read music, taking a sheet of music paper and trying to invent his own little system of high-and-low marks reacting to exactly this impetus ... "whew! It's easier than actually reading music!" Who am I to say ....
