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
Oh, and does it have to be generative, or can it be a fixed score?
Download "Bleep" from my webpage - the score is a bunch of jpegs.

Subject: Re: [PD] Musical notation object on PdHi 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,

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
