   I'm also a long-time Sibelius user, but was missing high-quality (real) audio together with the playback... So thanks for the comment. The javascript that I use to partition a score is extremely simple - all it does is play the song wh

   Yeah, load times seem to be quite high at times, that's not exactly ideal... I will look into that. Where are you located?

   Good observation, I will add some javascript that takes care of that. On the to-do list now ;) Thanks.

   Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't anticipate this level of interest so I suppose I forgot to take out the console.log stuff. Will do now. Glad it wasn't anything embarrassing ;) As for scrubbing, it was a conscious decision t

   I think so too :) Thanks for the subscription and the nice words! I definitely want to hear your ideas, so please feel free to get in touch (contact information listed under http://notezilla.io/library )

   Yes, I am exploring adding more functionality to it, and one thing that I'd like myself (and I think, you too), is piano tutoring. For example, it could play a certain section once, then repeat it, but without sound, while the student

   Will look into this - just please clarify the pentagram part, and also what hardware / software you are using? Thanks.

    It's mostly manual work at this point, although it's not too bad because of some javascript that I wrote that makes it really straightforward to partition a score into time intervals... And yes, I might actually write a blog post

    I use LilyPond when creating the sheet music, and it can take MusicXML as well as MIDI (I'm assuming that MuseScore can output at least one of them). Alternately, it would be possible to just upload the pictures of the score directly i

    by siliconviking 13y ago

    Yes! I'm actually using LilyPond already to create the sheet music, so if I do add the possibility for users to upload their own scores, it would most likely be with LilyPond... Although the user would still need to partition the score

    Still down? I made yet another upgrade after that first upgrade... Is it working now for you?

    Thanks! Makes me happy to hear that :) I will definitely work on getting that line synced up. On my computer (Mac OS X / Chrome), it's perfectly synced, but it seems that that isn't the case for some people. Thanks for the fe

    Most likely that will be very hard to do, at least for orchestral pieces, which are typically recorded using overhead microphones (ie, not with separate tracks for each instrument). For pop music, it's definitely doable as long as I ca

    I have considered that, actually. There are certain advantages with it - although, one thing that I like in particular with hosting the audio myself is that for example, I can slow it down to 25% speed and still have it sound great! Not pos

    Just upgraded to a paid database in Heroku, took about 3 minutes all in all ;) Hopefully it will handle the traffic better. Kudos to Heroku!

    Thanks. Looks like the database is not keeping up with all the connections. Will look into that....

    Oops! I forgot to change the definition of the keyboard controls... it's actually meant to turn a whole page so I just need to change the definition. (just moving by one measure is more easily done by clicking in the score...) Thanks f

    by siliconviking 13y ago

    Thanks! Well it seems that consensus is that the current page turning is not optimal... Perhaps scrolling is the solution. I will definitely invest some time in that to improve it. Also, regarding the time and key signatures, I very much ag

    by siliconviking 13y ago

    I think having the key / time signature "stick" makes a lot of sense... I will work on that. The only thing to look out for is key signature / time signature changes, and make sure those get captured too and that they st

    by siliconviking 13y ago

    Thanks very much! Yup, I can do the highlighting fairly easily, that's a good idea! Scrolling is easily doable too, but I'm not sure that's the best way for all situations. I might provide it though, and then let the user cho

    But what exactly would stop the FBI from sending agents to Singapore and conducting their own investigation, with or without consent? Need it be covert, it could certainly be covert. I'm currently operating under the assumption (which seeme

    Awesome idea!! Any chance someone could curate it and highlight the changes that were meaningful? For example, Geico just took out the following: "We do not save this data nor disclose it to any third parties." (anything but comforting...)
