Cool, so it seems Spirit is also useful for blind musicians.

BMC — Braille Music Compiler

BMC translates between braille music code and visual music notation. It uses Boost.Spirit to parse braille music code into an AST which is later enhanced with various algorithms to resolve ambiguities inherent to braille music code. It can currently convert to LilyPond source format, which can later be translated to a PDF and MIDI representation by LilyPond. BMC aims to become an universal translator between tactile and visual music notation, eventually covering both directions. We are looking for developers with a background in music notation who might be interested to contribute to this unique free software project which aims to bridge the gap between blind and sighted musicians.

I’ve been mentoring for GSOC for a couple of years now. This one is the best (the Fusion 0x project of last year’s GSOC was also highly successful, but it was Hartmut Kaiser who mentored that). Thomas is an amazing student! A++, if there’s such a thing.

We have a new page enumerating the best practices for using Spirit. Right now, there’s only one entry (update: there may be more by the time you read this), but as time goes by, we will be filling this page with more. If you have a short Spirit tip to share, this is the page. Add a comment and we’ll incorporate them.

See the “Best Practices” page here.

Boost 1.41 release is coming vey soon, along with it, the much awaited Spirit version 2.1. It’s about time we have a major website makeover. Check out the new site for Spirit 2.1 (in beta).

  • Finally settled on WordPress. It does the job wonderfully, with minimum fuss, and it has great support.
  • The new docs are uploaded. The search box should be available once Google starts to index the new site (I already submitted a sitemap) for the Google Custom Search.
