Introduction

• How do I get GUIDO descriptions of music?
  • Use the JAVA-Keyboardinterface. This JAVA applet makes it easy to create GUIDO descriptions by using a virtual piano keyboard.
  • Type the descriptions manually using any text editor. This solution may sound awkward, but experienced users can create scores quickly this way.
  • Convert existing MIDI files to GUIDO using MIDI2GMN. MIDI2GMN is constantly being developed and improved. Please look again later for a link to the current version.
  • Convert scores files from other notation programs. We are currently working on converters from FINALE and SIBELIUS. A prototypical converter from Capella and abc also exists. Another project is trying to convert MuseData files. Please stay tuned for an update of these current projects.
  • Use Optical Score Recognition. One project is currently working on converting sheet music into GUIDO. Please stay tuned for an update of this project.
• How can I get Conventional Music Notation if I have a GUIDO description?
  • Use the GUIDO NoteServer to get a GIF picture. Save the GIF file and include it in the HTML-code using the <img> Tag.
  • Use the extended URL provided by the NoteServer to get an automatically updated picture everytime you load your page. This URL is displayed at the bottom of the result-page when you receive output from the noteserver.
  • Use JAVAScript in conjunction with the NoteServer. Look here for a demonstration.
  • Use the NoteServer-JAVA-applet for scrollable scores. Look here for a demonstration.
  • We have also developed a prototype for interactive score display using JAVA. This will be made available in the future.

Examples

• The JAVA-Keyboardinterface. Use a virtual piano to create GUIDO descriptions and score display.
• JAVAScript: Look here for a demonstration.
• NoteServer-JAVA-applet: Look here for a demonstration.
• Please look at the NoteServer samples to see features of the GUIDO NoteServer and how Music Notation is embedded there.
