| 22:00 | pikurasa | Hi, this is Devin. Mainly working on Music Blocks |
| 22:00 | Quozl | g'day. |
| 22:00 | pikurasa | hi Quozl |
| 22:01 | (and maybe fatigued of typing, so forgive any shorthand) | |
| 22:01 | Quozl | heh. |
| 22:03 | this week i worked on testing new WebKit GTK+ with Browse, looking for source code changes for the Find Words 3.1 activity, released the Music Keyboard 11 activity, and tested Music Blocks embedded in Browse on Ubuntu 16.04. | |
| 22:04 | pikurasa | Quozl: Thanks for trying out Music Blocks (MB) |
| 22:05 | As for what I did... | |
| 22:05 | Quozl | pikurasa: as a choral and piano musician, i'm very sensitive to rhythm timing; sometimes i noticed that Music Blocks v2.1 doesn't keep accurate time unless the blocks are hidden; that's expected isn't it? it looks like timing is best effort. |
| 22:05 | pikurasa | Quozl: the timing is better than it has been, but I agree |
| 22:06 | with music, we /start/ from "perfection" | |
| 22:06 | What do you mean by "unless blocks are hidden"? | |
| 22:06 | Quozl | there's a hide blocks button. |
| 22:06 | if you press it, the blocks are hidden. | |
| 22:07 | when you play a piece with the blocks visible, there are graphics updates to the blocks, highlighting execution. | |
| 22:07 | pikurasa | oh that... /that/ improves performance? |
| 22:07 | Quozl | my guess is that with the blocks hidden, less work needs to be done, and the system as a whole can concentrate on timing. |
| 22:08 | pikurasa | Quozl: one thing that really improves performance is the newer feature to "compile" the code beforehand |
| 22:08 | It is the play button on the right side of screen | |
| 22:08 | (above settings, I think) | |
| 22:08 | but, then the code is not running live anymore | |
| 22:09 | Mainly, this week I updated the examples https://github.com/walterbende[…]e/master/examples and found new bugs | |
| 22:10 | I have a couple bugs, that I see as conceptual issues that I am eager for us to solve. For example, https://github.com/walterbende[…]blocks/issues/832 | |
| 22:10 | Quozl | pikurasa: thanks, yes, that other play button seems different. |
| 22:11 | pikurasa | Quozl: yes, when I do a demo, I tend to use that play button, so I can assure a good performance |
| 22:12 | yeah, if the notes play late, then it changes the rhythm, which is not good. If you find any places in the code for improvement, please chime in. | |
| 22:13 | Quozl | pikurasa: no worries, looks like my experience is already fixed by a feature. ;-) |
| 22:13 | pikurasa | great. |
| 22:14 | Quozl | i've nothing further to report for the meeting. with BWV996 PDF on screen i'm itching to play it. so little manuscript score in the house, and i've not found a source of manuscript on the web that doesn't require payment. |
| 22:15 | pikurasa | Quozl: then you do not know mutopia project |
| 22:15 | Quozl | pikurasa: much that i do not know. i can google. |
| 22:15 | pikurasa | http://www.mutopiaproject.org/ |
| 22:15 | Quozl | oh, cool, thanks! |
| 22:16 | pikurasa | clone all the code, then compile the scores when you want them |
| 22:16 | If you find "bugs" (errors) in the score. You can input them yourself. | |
| 22:16 | https://github.com/MutopiaProject/MutopiaProject/ | |
| 22:17 | All the scores are under a free license | |
| 22:18 | Quozl | hmm, thanks. |
| 22:19 | i've nothing further, motion: close meeting. | |
| 22:19 | pikurasa | +1 |
