advice for plugin writing

• Jan 15, 2013 - 01:07

Hi all!
I am thinking to make a new plugin to support sending notes via serial.

1)
I need to use https://qt-project.org/wiki/QtSerialPort
is there any way to import/include QtSerialPort in qml files?

2)
How to catch notes on playing a song?

If some give some clues would be great.
BTW I am working with a guitar that shows leds on fingerboard to teach you how to play a song.

Bests,

IMHO serial ports are remnants of computer stone age, no point in making any effort to support this in any new version of any program.

MuseScore can recieve Notes via a Midi instrument, which usually woud be connected via some USB adaptor.
It might make sense to make that input available to the plugin infrastructure

Thanks for replying.

I am using serial thru USB port.
I need to get out notes while playing from MuseScore to show on my guitar.

If you know how to add the support for that library, please tell how I will do it, at leaset for my museScore branch.

Are you saying you have a guitar that accept serial or USB input that is *not* MIDI? That would be pretty shocking to me. i guess there might javebeen a wondow of a few months in the early 80's where someone might have tried making an instrument with a serial input that wasn't MIDI, but aisde from the remote possibility you have one of those prototype instruments, I have to believe that any instrument you have with any sort of digital input (serial or USB) would use standard MIDI. In which case, you don't need to access any special library at all; you just need to configure MuseScore to play via MIDI (eg, using JACK). Once you've set things up for MuseScore to play via MIDI/JACK, it should run out to whatever instrument you can connect JACK to. I'm unclear onthat process but understand it is possible.
