[Denemo-devel] wish list

[Joe Wilkinson]

Hi Richard,

I have attached the current version of my EbSax generating programme, 
for which I have a couple of questions. :-)

It has 5 staves working adequately.

The first 2 are for entering the music as written at concert pitch, with 
Chords.

The second staff is then copied to the third, when any notes that are 
below Eb are highlighted in red, until edited by hand into playable 
range (and harmony usually, rather than just up an octave)
This staff is a non-printing staff

The fourth borrows from 3 and prints staff 3 transposed down a minor 
third, and the fifth prints the note name (the target audience is a 
beginner)

Questions:

Where could I put some operating notes if giving it to someone to remind 
them what each one does?

Is it possible to go through a staff and find all the E# or B# notes 
(which appear on staffs 4&5 if music in A or E is transposed to F# or C# 
respectively) and either
add a /F or /C as a reminder to the note names on staff 5, or
move the notes creating the E# or B# when converted and change them, 
i.e. find all the  G# notes and change them to Ab so that they transpose 
neatly to F?

I can manage without either of these; just thought it might be helpful, 
but I can't get my head round Scheme at the present. I used to write in 
Lisp, but a long time ago. I have more recent experience of Java and 
other OO languages.

Thanks for reading even if these are pie-in-the-sky!

Joe
