symbolic harmony representation?

• Jan 18, 2012 - 01:10

Hi all,
I'm looking for a notation environment that I can invest some time and coding effort into in order to achieve the following:
1. Symbolic chord notation, transposable, like the classical I vi IV V or Nashville notation 1 6- 4 5.
2. Custom graphic chord symbols, preferably size scalable
3. Custom clef symbols

Am I in the right place? Are these kind of things possible given the specifics of this open source environment? I am new to MuseScore just as of today, and I see there's a lot to do with a relatively small number of people working on it. However, if the environment supports these kind of extensions, I would be excited to dive in. It looks like there's a vibrant community here.

I hope you find your way in MuseScore. In version 1.1, MuseScore does support chordnames, you can customize how they look via an XML files. It's "normal" chordnames though so CMaj and not classical or Nashville notation, but I guess it could be added if you have the coding skills. That adresses your 1. and 2.

Regarding 3, I'm not sure what sort of Clefs symbols you want to use that MuseScore can't support. You can always hide a clef and put any graphics.
