Re: Open Source section

Fantasies and pipedreams don't lend themselves well to competing with the minions of Gates, Jobs, and the Androids. Weird. Last time I checked Android was quickly overtaking Apple's iOS in popularity (despite?) being free open source software http://source.android.com/source/licenses.html . I'm not...

Re: how do you compose your songs?

I usually start from a text (often a poem). If it inspires me, some of its lines it will automatically trigger melodies and harmonies and rythms which I write down and then flesh out behind the piano. When I get stuck, I will start to continuously repeat the part I already had, and then each time tr...

Re: Lilypond page layout

If by "Coda" you mean the "Coda symbol", probably this can inspire you: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=202 If by "Coda" you mean "an expanded cadence", I'm not sure what you want to achieve but perhaps the following can be useful: http://lilypond.org/doc/...

In the mean time, I've also mailed the forum admin at homerecording.be to inform him of the problem.

Re: Future of LinuxMusicians?

I wouldn't mind being added to the feed list. It'd be nice to have a 'linux' tag that I could subscribe to, but I'm not sure blogspot allows filtering feeds by tag. For now I added all of it. Thanks! In the mean time I noticed that the video bar pointing to my youtube videos pointed to something el...

Re: Future of LinuxMusicians?

And while we're on the subject of the planet.linuxmusicians feed: It seems to generate invalid .rss at the moment, getting my feed reader in trouble... For what it's worth: the problem seems to be in the entries from homerecording.be, where the posts contain "non-breaking space characters"...

All my music is made (or at least typeset and postprocessed) using linux tools (things like lilypond, audacity). Also both my multitrack recorder (roland boss br600) and video camera (panasonic sd20 avchd) can si...

Hi everyone, I've just registered (after cursing several times at the insane captchas :? who makes these things?!) I found this forum by accident and from what I've seen, it seems like a place I'd like to visit and contribute to. I'm an experienced linux user and I love dabbling with software and mu...
