Hello List!
First of all let me thank you all developers for creating and
maintaing this wonderful program. My name is Michał and for quite
a few months I observe the List, althought didn't have opportunity
to help, nor ask for it because as yet I found all solutions to my
problems in archives and documentation.
Let me introduce myself. I'm active Youth Choir singer ( 8th year
for now) - not professional although we are working with
professional orchestras from time to time and taking a part in
international choral competitions about once a year. I'm
passionate of choral music, and I treat it as important part of my
life. Recently I undertook a task to rewrite short (10-15 min)
orchestral piece of the founder and very first conductor of our
choir.
I chose Lilypond as a tool mostly because of its text foundations
(primary there was a plan to collaborate with others) and
possibility to structure the project according to our needs.
Althought the work is not yet finished, I'm amazed of the
program's performance mostly because the output of instrumetal
parts looks almost exactly the same as handwritten scores (which
were very well designed), and I done only a very few tweaks (I'm
still a Lilypond noob)
Besides I work in a software company, so the is no problem with
VCSs (git, svn).
I would be very happy to give back something to the community and
take part in this experiment and create a real product which will
be used by others. Also I'm very interested in organisational
concepts in this Project - I feel I'll learn a lot!
Best Regards
Michał Konopacki

Hi all,
thank you for all the interest. Together with the other people
already in the project we'll be able to make a good example how
fast a score can grow :-)
I'll give more details when I'm back from holidays (very soon
unfortunately), only a few cpmments for now (sorry for bot
threading that properly).
The material to work with is significantly better than what you
have now.
Any amount of contribution is welcome. You just have to take into
account the effort of setting everything up and getting acquainted
with the project.
Musicological expertise is not required. Nor are programming
skills.
One works with files containing one voice for one rehearsal mark.
That reduces waiting times for recompilation..
It seems best to enter all voices for a rehearsal mark in one unit
of work. That way one can make most use of copy and paste as there
is much duplication of voices in the score.
The piece hasn't been performed in the last 100 or so years - so
no, there is no recording. But I can (privately) share some other
recordings to get into the mood of the music.
(The concert we're preparing this for will be recorded and
broadcast in the radio btw).
That's what comes to my mind for now - kids urgently need me in
the water :-)
Best
Urs

Count me in for some work.
Are the scans really that
bad? I often use scanning to create musicXML, and this
will clearly not work here: but I'm not convinced I
could even get the notes with the patent Holmes eye scan
method?
I'm also presuming from
your comments that there's no music to listen to that
could be used to check the work?

Subject: Crowd
engraving project
Hi all,
this has been discussed before, but now's the time to repeat
the "call for participation" for our crowd engraving project
with "Das trunkne Lied", a large scale orchestral work by
Oskar Fried.
We are looking for people to enter and proofread music in a
peer review workflow and who are interested in discussing
and experiencing a proof-of-concept crowd engraving project.
We expect some experience with LilyPond and romantic
orchestral music. Our workflows are based on Git and some
related concepts so you should either know that or are
willing to learn it on the job. This is definitely possible
but we won't be able to do too much hand-holding.
There are two targets to meet: we should deliver audio files
for the choir and soloists by end of September and
instrumental parts by the end of the year. So far it is only
targeted at "usable" and not "publication" quality.
The music comprises 90 "segments" (respectively rehearsal
marks), and one usually has to deal with only one instrument
/ one segment at once).
This is a paid job - but please don't expect this to be
anywhere near appropriate. We're doing this as a proof of
concept, for an amateur orchestra.
You can see the material at http://beautifulscores.net/fried/
- an extremely sketchy site that I put together using an SSH
client on my mobile - we'll dive right into it when I've
returned from holidays.
If you're interested (and this also goes for those who had
already expressed interest last year) please contact me
privately, on this list or on the project mailing list http://lists.ursliska.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/das-trunkne-lied
I'm looking forward to any contact .
.
Best wishes
Urs
