Suggests: impro-visor
Pkg-Description: Jazz Improvisation Advisor for the Improviser
 Impro-Visor (short for “Improvisation Advisor”) is a music notation
 program designed to help jazz musicians compose and hear solos similar
 to ones that might be improvised. The objective is to improve
 understanding of solo construction and tune chord changes. There are
 other, secondary, things it can do, such as improvise on its own. It
 has also been used for transcription. Because rhythm-section
 (e.g. piano, bass, drums) accompaniment is automatically generated from
 chords, Impro-Visor can be used as a play-along device. Now having a
 wider array of accompaniment styles, its use is not limited to jazz.

Depends: audiveris
Pkg-Description: Optical Music Recognition module
 Audiveris is an Optical Music Recognition (OMR) module. Starting from 
 the image of a music sheet, it provides high-level logical music 
 information compliant with the MusicXML definition. Other tools such as 
 a Midi Sequencer, or a Composition Editor can then read and update this 
 standard data.
 .
 There are already commercial tools in this area but Audiveris is, to our 
 knowledge, the first Java open-source OMR tool. It is a cross-platform 
 tool, written entirely in Java, and tested on Windows, Solaris, Linux 
 and Mac OS.
 .
 Audiveris works with printed music sheets only, the task of recognizing 
 hand-written scores being significantly harder.

Recommends: bmc
Pkg-Description: Braille Music Compiler
 BMC aims to become a system for translating between visual and tactile
 western music notation.
 It currently parses a subset of braille music code and can emit LilyPond
 input files from that.  Export to other formats like MusicXML is
 planned.
 Eventually, BMC should also be able to convert from MusicXML to braille
 music code.
 .
 It is intended as a bridge between visual and tactile music notation,
 allowing for more and better cooperation between sighted and visually
 handicapped musicians.
 .
 There is no official upstream release yet, the code is still only
 available through github.

Recommends: mingus
Pkg-Description: advanced music theory and notation package
 mingus is an advanced music theory and notation package 
 for Python with MIDI playback support. It can be used to play 
 around with music theory, to build editors, educational tools and 
 other applications that need to process and/or play music. 
 It can also be used to create sheet music with LilyPond 
 and do automated musicological analysis on chords, scales and 
 harmonic progressions.
 .
 The MIDI package can save and load MIDI files, and -last but not least-
 provides a general purpose sequencer for all the containers and a
 FluidSynth sequencer subclass. This allows you to play all your data
 structures straight from Python in just a couple of lines. Most of the
 icky timing and MIDI code has been abstracted away for you, leaving a
 clean, relatively simple API.
 .
 Lastly, the extra package includes a LilyPond exporter which can be used
 to create sheet music in PDF, PNG and postscript. It also offers ASCII
 tablature and MusicXML exporting and a sound analysis module which can
 recognize notes and melody in raw audio data.

Suggests: komposter
Pkg-Description: lightweight music composing system
 This is a lightweight music composing system intended mainly to be used
 in applications where the size of the executable must be minimized such 
 as 4K and 64K intros.
 .
 It is built using a modular "virtual analog" model, where the composer 
 can build the synthesizers from scratch using simple basic building
 blocks. This minimizes the amount of code required and relies more on
 data, which can be compressed more effectively.
 .
 A simple pattern-based sequencer is used to create songs which use up 
 to 24 voices, each of which can use a different synthesizer.
 Each synthesizer can be programmed with a number of patches that can be
 switched between patterns.
 .
 Included with Komposter is a music player with full x86 assembly source 
 code as well as a converter for generating nasm-includeable files from
 song files.
