Thank you for this! Both MEI format and the Verovio engraver are news to me. I will check them out. My first thought was whether MEI format is being added to MuseScore (the sheet m…

It's just an entrenched aesthetic preference. Jazz fonts (fonts in this context refers both to the words and the music symbols) tend to be quite heavy with thick lines. I've heard …

I recently left a job at where I was working with open data producers / providers across a lot of domains. A lot of data is produced and released for free by governments and nonpro…

I just signed up a trial, and uploaded a messy Real Book scan. It did very well! It missed the coda markings, but then again the directive in the Real Book was nonstandard. I guess…

I'd imagine that rendered audio that just used midi voices (even high quality "Real Instruments" midi voices) would be pretty brittle for e.g. stem separation or automatic transcri…

I forgot to mention ABC. I have seen a few LLMs look at that. There was a model / paper published a couple years back called ChatMusician that built around it. With the caveat that…

I recently bought a tablet for sheet music, mostly to replace a stack of jazz "Real Books" at jam sessions. And the phone camera scans I made are okay, but fixed in size and have a…

Everyone I know who is a casual jazz musician / student uses iReal Pro for practicing soloing. It does an okay job. The styles are mediocre and mechanical, and not as good as Band-…

Most instruments tend to pitch sharp or flat depending on the partial. I don't recall any music teachers giving advice that specific positions should routinely get adjustments, but…

Curious what you're looking for in that position as the aperture for what DS do at AWS is quite broad (my current role). DM me if you want to chat—contact info in profile.

Didn't realize adapters were common! I agree on the FTC / standardization point.

If you buy their brushless line, you can add a few decent tools to your lineup while using the cheap stuff for everything else. Same battery platform generally. I have a lot of the…

When I watched Incubus I remember him sounding very much like he was trying to speak Italian. My only basis for comparison are some podcasts in Esperanto I've listened to, and comp…

I worry about the Slate truck being DOA with expiration of incentives for EVs. Someone please tell me I'm wrong, because if they do deliver as promised, I'll be excited to buy one.…

From the papers I've read, the stem separation models all seem to train off what seems like a fairly small dataset that doesn't have great instrument representation. I wonder if yo…

MuseScore is good enough that I haven't bothered to check back with commercial vendors. I'm pretty novice with it, however, so perhaps Sibelius power users will disagree.

Tunable transparency mode sounds great, and I wish Apple would do something like this as first-party support. As a casual trombone player, who often plays in louder settings, the a…

I think the answer here involves licensing and Apple control of the infrastructure, but my first thought was, "I historically trust Apple with my data a bit more than I trust Googl…

I don't think those work between iOS and KDE Connect. I would love to be able to type iMessages on my Linux desktop's computer. If I'm wrong about this not working, someone please …

I can't remember where I read it, but I read that Signal's popularity was high (highest?) in Germany. Assuming I'm not misremembering or that the situation hasn't changed, it seems…

Thank you! I'll take a read.

Though this is more "LLM uses a variety of open source tools and compilers to compile source," I do wonder about whether there will eventually be a role for transformers in compili…

Gosh, I remember my family renting this and the VHS player to watch it as a kid. I remember nothing about the plot. Only pizza, soda, VHS rental, and this title specifically.
