@neauoire I've always been looking for something to easily write chordsheets in on linux.

This here is perfect, except it is not open source and is a webapp. You enter chords in a simple textual notation and they are formatted nicely.

chordsheet.com/

Any chance you would make a clone of that as desktop application?

@pinpox I'm not sure to what extent I will develop this yet, but I can push it further if you think you can make use of it. I'll first develop it just enough so I can write the music for the game I'm working on, we can expand it to support the texture notation after :)

This is going to save me a lot of pain, I think I'll even have this display the crab canon symmetry as I compose the tracks.

@neauoire

Can you vary the volume/intensity of the notes?

Hofstadter wrote about Bach's Endlessly Rising Canon, where the notes going up a musical scale, but they were quietest at the bottom and the top of the scale, and loudest in the centre of the scale, so you had an "always-rising" effect. :D

If you do that with a Crab Canon, you could get an "always-rising" and an "always-falling" effect at the same time. :D

@BillySmith I can yes! I need to make a kind of "effects" menu that'll let me control the mirroring, and transposition of the second hand. Working on that now

Reminds me of Matrix Synth apps like Melodica from the Golden Age of iOS.

NEVER thought I'd get nostalgic about iOS, but here I am.

There was actually something very pure and open about it until about 2015.

@neauoire reminds me of my time using the Deluxe Music Construction Set on an Amiga in the distant past 😊

@neauoire oh fun. I had to replace hammer springs to play yesterday. Was worth it.
