[MEI-L] News on Du Chemin Project, MEI, and VexFlow

[Richard Freedman]

Friends,

Just a short note to bring you up to date on the Du Chemin Project, and in
particular some excellent progress we have made with MEI.  You can read the
details in the links below.  I am printing the documents, too, and can
easily send along copies of the report to you.  Just let me know if you
would like a copy.

Meanwhile the most important developments (for the MEI group, in any case):
 thanks to Raffaele Viglianti and Andrew Hankinson, we have a nice system
that allows us to move smoothly from our original Sibelius and Finale
transcriptions to MEI and then to on-screen rendering of musical examples.
 The aim, as you might recall, is to build a large analytic "thesaurus" of
musical types and procedures from our repertory, then coordinate these with
proposed reconstructions of missing voice parts in still other pieces.

Follow the links below to see various explanations and demonstrations.  The
attached set of images shows you just a small bit of what we can do--in
this case searching for a particular type of cadence, then displaying the
result.

Meanwhile, best wishes for a productive year,


Richard
