[fomus-devel] Error: NIL is not a number
by Brian 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

Hi, I've just set up fomus on cygwin (clisp, cm) but I'm having a little trouble getting it working. I'm just trying the first example in the docs as listed below but I get an error message: "*** - -: NIL is not a number". I know this is a pretty common Lisp error (excuse the unintentional pun!) but I'm not sure where I should be looking to resolve it. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks a million, Brian This is the example code: ------------------------- (fomus :output '(:lilypond :view t) :ensemble-type :orchestra :parts (list (make-part :name "Piano" :instr :piano :events (loop for off from 0 to 10 by 1/2 collect (make-note :off off :dur (if (< off 10) 1/2 1) :note (+ 48 (random 25)) :marks (when (<= (random 3) 0) '(:staccato))))))) This is the error message I'm getting (including some initial startup warnings): ------------------------------------------ CM[1]> (load "/usr/local/lisp/fomus/load.lisp") ...

Hi David, Thanks for getting FOMUS to work in Clisp. It does indeed run in Windows too. By that I mean that this works: (events (new seq :subobjects (list (new midi :time 0))) "test.xml") and the resulting file is readable by Finale. Since I don't really know how to use FOMUS (yet), I wanted to run the test-suite, but it can't load and gives this: *** - component :CL-PPCRE not found, required by #<SYSTEM "fomus-test" #x1A2B7449> Regarding nested tuplets, yes, ETF format can represent them. CM-ETF can output them too, but that feature is mostly useless right now, because the OpenMusic algorithm used to convert raw durations to an abstract notational representation (a "tree"), seems to never produce nested tuplets. For example, rather than a triplet within a triplet, it just uses the common denominator for the whole structure instead; i.e. as a nine-tuplet instead. I assume the fomus algorithm can produce nested tuplets? Just to prove to myself that CM-ETF *can* do nested tuplets I tried this: (cm-etf::meta->etf '(((4 4)) (TREBLE ((Q NIL NIL ((3 Q 1 H) (3 H 1 W)) NIL ((CM::C4 NIL))) (Q NIL NIL NIL NIL ((CM::C4 NIL))) (Q NIL NIL NIL NIL ((CM::C4 NIL))) (H NIL NIL NIL NIL ((CM::C4 NIL))) (H NIL NIL NIL NIL ((CM::C4 NIL))))))) The resulting file shows the nested tuplets in Finale and Sibelius. I'll write a prettier function that lets the user output an ETF from a tree and chord-list; it won't be hard. By all means, use the code in CM-ETF however you wish, and take whatever is useful for the FOMUS backend. All data is represented as lists so if you rip things apart, you won't have trouble with undefined objects. If you have any questions about it, ask away. I might be able to help by figuring out the ETF format for articulations and expressions. For the long term, you may want to consider making FOMUS compatible with OpenMusic, especially since IRCAM plans to release a free version for SBCL on Linux. They don't have .ly or .xml support.
