VirtMus

VirtMus (virtual music) is a free application that allows the user to display sheet music and turn pages without removing the hands (or feet) from the instrument the music is performed on. This feature is very useful during concerts and practice sessions as it allows the musician to focus on ... [More] performing the music without interruption. The software also allows the users to store and organize their entire sheet music collection on a laptop, making it fully portable and available at a click of a button. [Less]

jfonia

jFonia is a framework/API for music, focusing on symbolical (discrete) data such as notes, clefs, measures etc. It is a low level framework, aiming to facilitate the development of high level music software, such as score players, viewers, editors, analysis and composition tools etc. The ... [More] framework is still under development. GOALThe goal is to offer: a special way to represent time-based information, using specialized iterators. Among other things, these iterators help bridge the gap between different music models, between score and performance (midi) etc. basic classes for common concepts such as pitch, rhythm, chord symbols etc. a basic set of algorithms which can be used to manipulate music (e.g. transpose, play, analyse, pitch spell,...). Algorithms operate on iterators, so as to decouple them from the actual music model used (similar to C++ STL) a basic model for common music, based on list representations. Advantages over a (trivial) tree-based model include the possibility of fragmentary information (e.g. only lyrics and chord symbols), decoupling of metric structure, algorithms that focus on specific aspects (e.g. rhythm or pitch) and others. support for graphical representation of scores, including graphical symbols, layouting, selection... a novel treatment of harmonic information (chord symbols) implementation of a set of conversions between existing music models such as MusicXML, Lilypond, MIDI, etc. an XML-schema for storing musical information DEVELOPMENTjFonia is mainly developed by Wijnand Schepens in Ghent, Belgium. Part of jFonia is currently being used by http://wikifonia.org [Less]

abc4j

The abc4j java library provides API to handle abc musical notation using java (>=jdk 1.2 but core classes only rely on 1.1.8). It provides a parser to parse tunes written in abc notation, and other classes in order to support midi playback, music score display etc etc. It only supports abc v1.6 ... [More] (for now... :). You can extend the basic capabilities of the library to implement your own dedicated features like improved midi player, or whatever... The library also comes with the "ABCynth" Java Application that demonstrates some of the features of the library. For further information, please have a look at the tutorials http://code.google.com/p/abc4j/w/list or download the latest javadoc http://abc4j.googlecode.com/files/abc4jApiDoc_v0.5.zip You can also have a look at the demo applets to get an idea of what can be achieved with abc4j : http://abc4j.googlecode.com/files/abcynthApplet_v0.3.html http://abc4j.googlecode.com/files/abcCheckApplet_v0.3.html Any idea, improvement, request or simply curious about how it works ? use the discussion group at http://groups.google.com/group/abc4j Coming soon : Music model : Ties and slurs, Lyrics, abc eXtended commands. Score Display : Chords, Up-bow and down-bow (already included in the music model), Lyrics display. Export : MusicXML (very first version in 0.5) [Less]

vivace

Vivace!Vi·va·ce (adv.) - lively, in music; "play this section vivace!" Vivace! is a simple and elegant MIDI sequencer written in the Java programming language. The 1.0 beta version was released on June 3rd 2008 and is currently maintained by Sven-Arne Andréasson at Chalmers University ... [More] of Technology. Update: The codebase for the application is currently being used as material for the projects in the course Agile Development Processes (EDA397) at Chalmers.
