OMET: Online Music Editing Tools

4 comments

Leveraging Ajax, the DOM and Lilypond for a web-based notation editor, from the latest edition of the Lilypond Report.

The article discusses OMET:

OMET, an acronym for Online Music Editing Tools, is a project to develop a group of web-based applications for creating professional-quality music manuscripts.

Basically, this is a browser-based GUI Lilypond editor. Very, very cool.

Right now it's limited to guitar scores – though nobody should take that to mean notating guitar music is a simple task, given all the resources of the instrument. Add to that the nature of polyphonic music notation on a single staff and, well, "issues" arise.

;(

I signed up for this project's mailing list to keep up-to-date with its progress.

BTW: Is that Fernando Sor's Opus 6, #6 I see in the article's screenshot?

  3. I just launched LilyBin.com. The goal is very similar to the tools already mentioned, but I think I've made the tool easier to use and integrate into the daily workflow. No registration is required, and it integrates nicely with Dropbox.
