De jonge blokfluiter

In mei begonnen met muziek, dat wil zeggen noten leren lezen en blofluit spelen. Te beginnen met De Jonge Blokfluiter van James Arden. Een van de vele pseudoniemen waaronder Theo Ettema z’n lesboeken schreef.

Inmiddels ook met bladmuziek in de weer. Met behulp van LilyPond kunnen nu ook stukjes electronisch worden bewaard en zonodig omgezet naar MIDI.

Lilypond

Make engraved music sheets with Lilypond. A typical workflow to create a sheet looks like this:

  1. create a textdocument, e.g. myFirstSheet.ly, with texteditor;
  2. run Lilypond
  3. check the Postscript and, if any, Midi files
  4. if not ok, edit the textdocument and go back to step 2.

This shellscript supports the process. It shows a dialog to select the Lilypond source-document and subsequently asks to redo or stop.

The script uses X11 XDialog which was installed using MacPorts.
Music engravings can be embedded in an Open Office document with OOOLilypond.

Dem bones (not the song)

Yeah, just when things got interesting I broke my collarbone. Being an allweather biker for over twenty years I reckoned something like this could happen someday. That day was yesterday.
The pain is bearable, there’s enough things to do to do BUT any tinkering. Which will not be possible the coming weeks…

Status 9 april, btw that is is a comminuted fracture. Then again, an opportunity to get to know Dicom better. The (Open?) Digital Imaging standard used at the local hospital. With Osirix, an open source Dicom viewer, you can view your X-ray images on your Mac too ;-)

Organizer drawer

Waiting for the RepRap Cartesian parts being delivered, completed today my first 3D object, an organizer drawer :-).

The Blender crash course, that is tutorials, found at rab3d.com, starting with the 608 Bearing tutorial was very helpful.
