The harmony playback feature is now available in MuseScore 3 (https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/5129#issuecomment-601717806) , development of this plugin is thus stopped, thanks for you feedback and positive comments in the past. This plugin for MuseScore 2.0 will expand chords annotations into a few notes in voice 4, directly playable by MuseScore.

updates #3

Closed denschmitz closed 4 years ago

denschmitz commented 8 years ago

I'd like to make some modifications:

// todo: use chords.xml to produce voicings and remove the embedded data // todo: determine staff range and best fit the chord in the range. // todo: support slash chords to establish base. // todo: if multiple harmonies exist in a measure, carve up the generated chords // people can type chords at every quarter note position in empty measures, // fix: if a harmony is on anything but the top staff, notes go in top staff. put in appropriate staff // fix: generated whole notes have wrong note head (solid instead of open) // todo: consider usefulness of making the notes a different color (medium gray) for reference

I can send back updates if you're interested.

Hello @denschmitz

Yes please, these improvements would be great and I'd gladly merge them here for many to use!

Just no sure chords.xml is the way to go: is the "new" parsing mechanism still using it? Per #2 I think it's not, more info from Marc Sabatella at https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/382 (and former discussions at http://dev-list.musescore.org/chord-symbol-import-export-td7578124.html)

More documentation on the current chords parsing/rendering in MuseScore: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q7LXHDSkQb70xmcyquFSiSv_lGbOXMDwzn_24-n7qJw/edit

Good luck! Berteh.

Hello @denschmitz, did you get at chance to implement any of the improvements you wanted to? I'd be happy to integrate them here for others to benefit from. B.

Thanks for your feedback.

As a similar feature is being integrated in the main release of MuseScore (finally, great!), I personnaly don't plan on supporting this script further. You are of course free to take over from me if you want to. Kindly let me know: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/5129#issuecomment-601717806

If you wanna keep using this script be sure to check out if you rather use improved version by @Bacchushlg, with

  • automatic creation of a new staff line (only one initial staff is accepted in the moment)
  • correct chord length according to the distance to the next chord symbol
  • some additional chords and synonyms
