hello,

i have just found fomus! this is exactly what i have been looking for - many thanks for your work.

i am currently working on a genetic algorithm music composition software in pure-data and have been struggling trying to convert my data into lilypond format. perhaps with fomus this will no longer be a problem for me.

i have been looking at the examples and have the following question/request:

i will be using fomus in text interface mode and would love to see some examples which include data other than pitch duration and onset just so i can get an idea of how my data should be formatted.

note 1 :off 0 :dur 1 :note 60 :mark attack :dynamic ppp note 1 :off 1 :dur 1 :note 62 :mark staccato :dynamic fff

i know this is wrong but i would like to know the right way to include articulation and dynamic material for example.

I promise to bury myself in the documentation soon ;-)

many thanks again for this software - i think it will save me a lot of headaches in the future,

best regards,
