Hey Ed,

Many thanks for getting back to me about this.

The score needs to be generative but that wont stop me having a good mooch around 'Bleep':)

Many thanks for the font and the cpu freq gov too, looks like a vital piece of software.

Best of luck with your piece, I know the stress involved with looming deadlines, looks like it will be good though. UoEA is a bit far for me but if all goes well you should get in touch and we should see if we can get you a gig up in Huddersfield where I'm currently based.  Certainly sounds like the kinda thing we're into up here.

Cheers,

Jb

Download "Bleep" from my webpage - the score is a bunch of jpegs.

Hi Ed,

Hope you don't mind me writing to you directly...

I was following this thread with interest, and have been checking your 'teasers' for your upcoming project with much interest.  Hope it's all going well.

I'm looking for a .ttf for rendering very simple notation - notes, rests etc without the need for barlines.  Could you recommend one, as I have been floundering somewhat and going round in circles trying to get one that works happily in pd & GEM?

Also, I have recently upgraded my lappy to a dual core machine and I noticed from your screenshot that you are also a fellow puredyner.  You had, in your screenshot, a rather funky looking gizmo that, if I read it correctly, measures the use of the dual cores - what is that thing!:)

Very best wishes,

Julian Brooks

Perhaps, but consider this:

The performer I am working with is a percussionist, and excellent at
sight-reading music. However, he's not by any stretch of the imagination a
programmer, and the idea of giving him command-line compilation issues to deal
with, or complex connectivity between packages, would kill the project straight
away. From me he needs to receive, via email, a PD patch that will just work. If
other libraries are "wrapped" into PD i.e. externals are made and integrated
into a future PD-extended, then these might provide some practical options for
me to work with classical musicians who aren't programmers (and the majority of
them are not). However, for the time being I am limited to that which can be
rendered by the current PD-extended straight out of the (in)box, without any
modifications to the computer it is running on.

That is why I'm building a system that uses just GEM and a truetype font, which
can be made into a single package and distributed to the performer of my piece.
If I had institutional support perhaps I could envisage something more complex
to work, but I have been unlucky in that respect. I could either give up, or try
to find a practical solution that works both for me and for a non-computer geek
classically trained player. I choose the latter because I want to make music.

Best,
Ed
