[fomus-devel] Installation problem: fomus commandline application
by Torsten Anders 07 Sep '06

07 Sep '06

Dear all, I am new to this list and did not find my problem discussed already. Apologies if if this is a FAQ. I tried to install the fomus commandline application, without success so far. It appears the compilation finishes successfully, then a Fomus greating message appears which ends up in the debugger. I get an error message which reads something like the following (copied by hand, hopefully without typos..) debugger invoked on an END-OF-FILE in thread 8843: end of file on #<SB-IMPL::STRING-INPUT-STREAM {9734081}> <snipped> (SB-IMPL::STRING-INCH 3 #<SB-IMPL:: STRING-INPUT-STREAM {some number}> T NIL)[:EXTERNAL] I tried Fomus 0.2.6 with SBCL 0.8.16 and a CMUCL snapshot from 2004 -- all on Linux (Fedora Core 3). Thank you very much!

[fomus-devel] [OT] Strasheela 0.8.1 has been released
by Torsten Anders 07 Sep '06

07 Sep '06

[Apologies for multiple postings] Strasheela is a highly expressive constraint-based music composition system. Users declaratively state a music theory and the computer generates music which complies with this theory. A theory is formulated as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) by a set of rules (constraints) applied to a music representation in which some aspects are expressed by variables (unknowns). Music constraint programming is style-independent and is well-suited for highly complex theories (e.g. a fully-fledged theory of harmony). Results can be output into various formats including MIDI, Lilypond, and Csound. The installation instructions and other documentation have been revised. Support for more output formats has been added, namely ENP and Fomus, thus allowing export to Finale and Sibelius. Other extensions have been added, and bugfixes have been made. For more information, please visit http://strasheela.sourceforge.net/ This release can be downloaded from: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=167225 Best, Torsten -- Torsten Anders Sonic Arts Research Centre • Queen's University Belfast Frankstr. 49 • D-50996 Köln Tel: +49-221-3980750 http://www.torsten-anders.de http://strasheela.sourceforge.net

Dear Torsten, you tried it with sbcl and cmucl and get basically the same error? For the sbcl case - maybe it would be good just to try with 0.9.16 ? Just to be sure: You are invoking it with $ ./install.sh --sbcl (no other options?) A friend of mine had a problem _using_ the fomus cmdline app... The error message was similar (if I remember correctly). It showed up, that the encoding of his text input file was unicode.... Changing it to Latin-1 made it work! There is even a 0.9.16 binary release available on http://sbcl.sourceforge.net/platform-table.html, so again, its probably best to try that. Have you successfully compiled and used fomus from the Lisp REPL? Hope that helps somehow, if not, I am sure that David will now, but he might need a longer backtrace then... ;-) Cheers, Kilian

[fomus-devel] new fomus frontend
by Kilian Sprotte 06 Sep '06

Hi, I would like to announce that the strasheela composition system has a new fomus backend (in svn). You'll find further informations on its home page http:// strasheela.sourceforge.net/. Particularly interesting might by: http://strasheela.sourceforge.net/strasheela/doc/StrasheelaExamples.html There is already one more example in svn that deals with a combination of l-systems and constraints. Cheers, Kilian
