Can I use alda to name a group of notes, and just use the name in various places around the score? Like a macro or a function definition, perhaps?
I'm giving a short talk on alda at the upcoming LCA2016 music miniconf, so I'm trying it out
please feel free to tap me here or via email if you have any questions about anything, i'll be happy to help
Yep, that's why I joined the channel. At the moment alda doesn't seem very much like a programming music; I'm trying to find ways to reduce the amount of 'code' that needs to be written.
we're sort of working our way there, from a starting foundation of a simple markup-like language
see the examples on the first post here: https://github.com/alda-lang/alda/issues/131
yep, that's the sort of notation that would work. Also perhape including external files?
OK, a question outside my scope, as I don't play with MIDI; how can I get a decent set of instruments for the playback? The ones my system currently supply are a bit insipid ... and I'm using Ace of Spades as my demo, which doesn't work well with 'insipid'
we actually have a script for that in the alda repo -- see: https://github.com/alda-lang/alda#installation
FluidR3 is a nice open source soundfont -- cloning the alda repo and running scripts/install-fluidr3
will make it the default MIDI soundfont for your JVM
percussion support is high on my TODO list. i'm hoping to get at least basic support for it knocked out by the time i give my alda talk at the ClojureRemote conference on february 11
Thanks Dave, I'll make sure to get some of those links/references into the talk. It's only 20 mins though! http://www.annodex.org/events/lca2016_mmm/index.php/Main/Schedule
