Music scores notation support system
Rejthar, Edvard ; Vojíř, Stanislav (advisor) ; Smutný, Zdeněk (referee)
Musicians need to notate their melody into music scores. If they use paper (which is highly comfortable), they lose the digitalizing advantages -- easy sharing and computer playback. On the other side, computer user interface has not been adjusted for music notation and the control of music editors is not trivial. So musicians tend to notate the music in plain text. The innumerable count of internet songbook can serve us as an example where the music is in a minimalistic way indicated by chord marks, positioned above the lyrics. Nevertheless, this plain text can not by easily played. Our work concerns program Mordent that tends to serve as a connecting link between plain text and music score. It is an application for musicians; it is written in object-oriented PHP and uses typesetting processor Lilypond to create PDF, PNG, and MIDI files from user input. First version of the application was limited and not much user-friendly. The user testing brought some new improving suggestions. This work documents the course of the testing and significant changes that extended the application: new editor behaviour, mobile-devices compatible redesign, and eventually the set of games, suitable for practising of musical hearing ability and music theory.
