Thanks for a wonderful conference.<br><br>Now, back to the business at hand: I was chatting with someone about the linking and alignment of audio and video files with a score. What they're interested in is taking multiple recordings and linking them up to a very sparse score representation (measures or even just sections).<br><br>Looking at how the <when> and @when system works, it doesn't look like this is currently possible; that is, it's possible to point from a score element to a single point on a timeline, but it's not possible to point from a time point to an element in the score. By using @when on a score-level element (measure, note, etc.) you're "polluting" the score representation with its location in a single timeline, rather than having the ability to, in multiple recordings, refer to the same score-level element at different time points.<br><br>I don't think this would be too hard to add so I will volunteer to actually do the coding, but I would first like to hear if anyone has any objections or suggestions.<br><br>Thanks,<br>-Andrew<br>_______________________________________________<br>mei-l mailing list<br>mei-l@lists.uni-paderborn.de<br>https://lists.uni-paderborn.de/mailman/listinfo/mei-l<br></div></body></html>
