About the guido library #141

Closed zhwei8090 closed 2 years ago

zhwei8090 commented 2 years ago

Regarding the guido library, does it not support active line wrapping of subsections in xml?

arshiacont commented 2 years ago

Can you give an example of line wrapping of subsections in xml?

Note that Guido has actually nothing to do with MusicXML and XML! It appears that the LibMusicXML proposes a convertor from MusicXML format to Guido format.

There is the GuidoAR repo which comes with various tools such as transpositions, wrapping of sections etc that you can use in parallel: https://github.com/grame-cncm/guidoar

I'm sorry, I have a problem with my expression. In fact, there are some differences between what I see on the score creation software and what I see after converting to guido. For example, the number of measures occupied by each line is inconsistent, and the width of each measure is inconsistent. , so that there are differences in the text and mark symbols that I need to display on the score making software, which greatly affects the beauty and efficiency of making scores

@arshiacont We use the software MuseScore, and we have also tried Finale. There are also some compatibility problems. I don’t know how you solved it, or have any better suggestions.

@zhwei8090 so this a LibMusicXML issue so we should probably move this to the issue over there: https://github.com/grame-cncm/libmusicxml/issues

The xml2guido in that library is tuned for Finale output. This is only because other software, such as MuseScore or Sibelius do not encode music scores in the same way and we found that Finale's output is more consistent!!! In most cases, if you import from MuseScore to Finale, clean up and export; you'll get better result!

Also: Not all elements in a music score encode to MusicXML! For example, pure graphical elements don't so you need sometimes to correct those.

In my experience, 95% of the times where Guido rendering is not right from MusicXML, it is related to the MusicXML or xml2guido! :)

@arshiacont Understood, thank you very much
