OMET: Online Music Editing Tools

[Sun, 26 Sep 2010 15:55:13 +0000]
Leveraging Ajax, the DOM and Lilypond for a web-based notation editor [http://www.omet.ca/lilyreport/lilypondreport.html], from the latest edition of the Lilypond Report [http://news.lilynet.net/The-LilyPond-Report-20]. The article discusses OMET: OMET [http://www.omet.ca/], an acronym for Online Music Editing Tools, is a project to develop a group of web-based applications for creating professional-quality music manuscripts. Basically, this is a browser-based GUI Lilypond editor. Very, very cool. Right now it's limited to guitar scores - though nobody should take that to mean notating guitar music is a simple task, given all the resources of the instrument. Add to that the nature of polyphonic music notation on a single staff and, well, "issues" arise. ;( I signed up for this project's mailing list to keep up-to-date with its progress. BTW: Is that Fernando Sor's Opus 6, #6 [http://www.muslib.se/ebibliotek/boije/pdf/Boije%20461.pdf] I see in the article's screenshot?

    I just launched LilyBin.com. The goal is very similar to the tools already mentioned, but I think I've made the tool easier to use and integrate into the daily workflow. No registration is required, and it integrates nicely with Dropbox.
