Re: [Denemo-devel] Denemo and Ubuntu SUCCESS

[Bernard Bourdillon]

Dear Andreas and Richard
Thanks for all you're doing.
If I go quiet for a couple of weeks now it's because I'm travelling, not 
because I've lost interest! The first point is that, before I start 
telling you what points I find difficult, I should say that I think it 
is a very good program. The quality of the manuscript output is great 
and it is easy to input music. Given the complexity of music it is to be 
expected that it will take quite a while to discover all the specialised 
things that the system can do.

I have (as we all do) a particular initial interest and mine does not 
require a particularly high spec. I'm a member of a choir which takes 
songs from a variety of sources and does some composition/arranging 
itself. So I want to take that music and, quickly and easily, produce a 
master copy that is legible and clear (full marks to Denemo). Then I 
want to produce CG sound files with each of the various parts stressed 
for initially learning the songs and encouraging people to practice 
between sessions using their smart phones or whatever (again - high 
marks to denemo).

Now - what I find difficult. The only thing so far is that it would be 
useful to have the potential for a metronome staff. It might be there 
already. This could be another instrument but should be 'pitchless' 
clicks, should be easy to set the stress on individual beats and you 
should be able to input it like you do notes. This would be particularly 
useful for counting into a song and for practicing complex rhythms.

Thanks again
Bernard
