Subject: [fomus-devel] Moved to SVN

Moved the project to subversion--(there's no "dev" branch anymore, just 
the main one, plain and simple)

Admin initial checkout would look something like this:

mkdir fomus
svn checkout 
svn+ssh://<username>@common-lisp.net/project/fomus/svn/fomus/trunk fomus

mkdir fomustest
svn checkout 
svn+ssh://<username>@common-lisp.net/project/fomus/svn/fomustest/trunk 
fomustest

After that if you haven't used subversion before it's very similar to 
CVS ("SVN update", etc..).  Sorry for the confusion--this is what I'll 
stick to now.

"Stable" releases will still be wrapped up in tarballs and deposited on 
the web site for download.

hello,

i have just found fomus! this is exactly what i have been looking for - 
many thanks for your work.

i am currently working on a genetic algorithm music composition 
software in pure-data and have been struggling trying to convert my 
data into lilypond format.  perhaps with fomus this will no longer be a 
problem for me.

i have been looking at the examples and have the following 
question/request:

i will be using fomus in text interface mode and would love to see some 
examples which include data other than pitch duration and onset just so 
i can get an idea of how my data should be formatted.

note 1 :off 0 :dur 1 :note 60 :mark attack :dynamic ppp
note 1 :off 1 :dur 1 :note 62 :mark staccato :dynamic fff

i know this is wrong but i would like to know the right way to include 
articulation and dynamic material for example.

I promise to bury myself in the documentation soon  ;-)

many thanks again for this software - i think it will save me a lot of 
headaches in the future,

best regards,

rob canning

I'll put up another page of examples shortly.

Please let me know how it works out for you...  I'd like to know how 
many people are having success with it, what's difficult/frustrating 
about it, what works well, etc..  I hear from a few people but haven't 
gotten too much feedback.
