Plate of Macaroni


Introduction:

What is "Plate of Macaroni"? No it is not a gourmet student meal, it is a program for scoring Csound songs. I decided to make this program because making music in Csound is an abhorrent task. To my knowledge this is the only program that scores Csound music in an intuitive way.

Background Information:

One dark and stormy night I was making a Csound composition when a bolt of Gen24 lightning hit me. The bolt of lightning gave me a vision of a program which was easy to use. Plate of Macaroni uses a graphical keyboard as input and makes sheet music to represent the notes played on the keyboard.

 

Programs Used:

This Program was made using:

Conclusion:

This tool is intuitive and will accelerate Csound composition process greatly and can be used by children. The loading of a score file has been tested on several differently formatted versions and they have all loaded correctly, there may be type that do not though.

Future developments will include more note options, better musical notation representation, and note playback for each struck key on the keyboard.

If there is a comctl32 error upon execution of Macaroni, I have included an install for that in the compressed program archive. Just install comctl32.exe
