Subject: Linux:noteedit:repeat both
Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2002 13:41:03 CST
noteedit-1.17.0 is available:
http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html
New features:
=============
- repeat both: :||:
- Slovak version (Thanks to Zdenko Podobny <zdpo@mailbox.sk>)
The other features are special requests from some Noteedit users:
=================================================================
+ Usage of computer keyboard as "MIDI keyboard":
"C" means "pitch C" \
"D" means "pitch D" |--> configurable
"E" means "pitch E" |
... /
+ All keys are configurable
+ Automatic bar insertion at the end
Only at the end! A general automatic bar insertion causes
logical problems.
+ Inserting/Moving notes causes a MIDI echo
configurable
+ configurable page turn over
some users want to determine the exact page turn over point
during replay
+ several syllables one note
This is especially useful for some eastern European languages
Czech: Byl jsem <v le-> su
+ PMX/MusiXTeX export with musixlyr
If you install the "musixlyr" package by Rainer Dunker you can
use the "with musixlyr" checkbox. This causes a compact lyrics
block instead a collection of "\zcharnote" constructs in
MusiXTeX and PMX.
+ Combine chords/Auto bar works correcrtly for 2nd, 3rd, ... voice
This was still a bug in noteedit-1.16.x
other features:
==============
- insertion/deletion/modification of notes, rests, multi rests, dotted notes/rests,
tied notes, slured notes, clefs with/without shift, time signatures,
key signatures, volume signatures, tempo signatures, triplets, repeat
groups with/without special ending and instrument changes on different
staffs;
- stem up/down
- zoom
- building chords;
- trills;
- (de-)crescendo
- fermata;
- forzato, portato, strong pizzicato, sforzando;
- building groups of beamed notes;
- multiple voices per staff
- multilingual (German version Swedish version)
- playing on /dev/sequencer (if correctly configured) whereby:
o giving each staff a different voice;
o giving each staff a different channel;
o giving each staff a different reverbation and chorus;
o highlighting the played notes;
o muting staffs;
- lyrics
- export MusiXTeX;
- export PMX;
- export MIDI;
- import MIDI;
- read from MIDI keyboard;
- Application of MIDI event filters to eliminate
some dirty effects (especially on human played MIDI files);
- record from MIDI keyboard;
- saving an restoring the files. The fileformat is similarily to the
format of the music publication program (MUP). So you if you are a MUP
user you have the possibility to convert the files into MIDI and
Postscript. But this is no longer necessary because noteedit can export
MusiXTeX, PMX and MIDI.
- autosave with configurable autosave interval;
- load last processed file (configurable)

Subject: The CREC-LUG announcement
Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2002 13:41:03 CST
Reply-To: sood aaditya <ec98310@matrix.reccal.ernet.in>
This is an announcement about a new LUG in CREC, Kerela, India.
We run a LUG in CREC (Calicut Regional Engineering College, Kerela,
India) called CREC-LUG. Although there have been Linux users in the
college since about 1995, paradoxically the LUG was founded in Nov 2001!
That partly explains why we haven't had any meetings yet, the other
reason being the exams :-/.
The DNS to our server (called tux.reccal.ernet.in) is shaky and slow
(almost like the whole ERNET), so the site better be accessed at the IP
address. Mail however would come through.
Lug Name : CREC-LUG
Co-ordinator : aaditya sood <ec98310 at matrix.reccal.ernet.in>
Mailing List Url: http://202.41.105.20/mailman/listinfo/lug
Mailing List Subscribe : <lug-request at tux.reccal.ernet.in> or from the Mailing list Url
Mailing List Archives : http://202.41.105.20/pipermail/lug
Lug Website : http://202.41.105.20/
First Meeting : Sometime in Jan 2002
Local Resources : A mailing list+website+~150 people:)
So any of the alumni of the college, anyone near Calicut (or anyone
at all:)) is invited to join. Just send a mail to me for more info.
Happy hacking!

Subject: New text formatter fm-1.0 with phonetics and trees.
Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2002 13:41:34 CST
Announce FM 1.0
===============
``fm'' stands for ``formatting more''. It paginates, fills lines, hyphenates,
and justifies text files and displays them on screen a page at a time or
prints them on a PostScript printer. Formatting commands can be used that
are similar to those of TeX or those of the nroff -man macros. For linguists,
there is provision for trees and phonetic notation, with optional use of
unicode.
Features
========
* optional format markup
* horizontal and vertical justification; English hyphenation
* corresponding screen display and PostScript printout
* no external files required (.fmconfig file optional),
self-contained font metrics, IPA font
* choice of formatting languages: none, pseudo-TeX, nroff-man macros
* trees, with easy to use indented input specification
* inverted, flattened, or discontinuous trees
* extended IPA phonetic notation
* all TeX standard diacritics for Roman fonts (except tie bars),
other diacritics too numerous to mention for IPA (including tie bars)
* unicode for screen display of diacritics, phonetics, trees
* unicode for input of diacritics and phonetic characters
* colored display and fontified printout of C-code
* footnotes at bottom of screen or page
* floating insertions
* automatic section, example, footnote numbering
* utility to generate TeX code for trees
* utility for translating unicode texts into an ascii
* easy GNU configure installation; no special libraries required
* user manual, tree manual, command reference, examples
