Ableton Link, uma tecnologia que sincroniza batida musical, ritmo e fase em várias aplicações em execução em um ou mais dispositivos. Aplicações em dispositivos conectados a uma rede local descobrem-se automaticamente e formam uma sessão musical em que cada participante pode executar independentemente: qualquer pessoa pode começar ou parar enquanto ainda mantém-se no tempo. Qualquer um(a) pode mudar o tempo, o restante acompanhará. Qualquer pessoa pode juntar-se ou sair sem interromper a sessão.

Este pacote contém utilitários de linha de comando para verificar a sincronização.

Ableton Link, a technology that synchronizes musical beat, tempo, and phase across multiple applications running on one or more devices. Applications on devices connected to a local network discover each other automatically and form a musical session in which each participant can perform independently: anyone can start or stop while still staying in time. Anyone can change the tempo, the others will follow. Anyone can join or leave without disrupting the session.

This package contains GUI utilities to check synchronisation.

gtklick is a simple metronome with an easy-to-use GTK+ interface, supporting the JACK sound server.

It features different sounds to choose from, arbitrary meters and beat patterns, a speed trainer, and the ability to save and restore profiles. gtklick is implemented as a frontend to klick and uses OSC messages to communicate with the backend.

Using klick directly on the command line offers additional features like tempo maps and synchronization with JACK transport.

klick é um metrônomo baseado em linha de comando avançado que usa o servidor de som JACK. Ele permite que você defina mapeamentos de tempo complexos para performances ou músicas inteiras.

Um único tempo e medida podem ser especificados em linha de comando, enquanto que mapeamentos de tempo mais complexos podem ser lidos de arquivos de texto simples. Alternativamente, é possível executar klick em modo interativo, onde o tempo pode ser mudado durante a execução usando o teclado, ou seguir informações de tempo lidas do transporte JACK.

Laborejo, Esperanto for "Workshop", is used to craft music through notation. It is a Lilypond GUI frontend, a MIDI creator and finally a tool collection to inspire and help one to compose music. It works by reducing music-redundancy and by seperating layout and data.

Laborejo provides many features:

  • Unlimited tracks/staffs, voices, items.
  • Input via Keyboard, Mouse or MIDI.
  • Flexibel and fast shortcut and configuring system.
  • Portable, as few dependencies as possible.
  • PDF generation, ready-to-print, through Lilypond.
  • Separation of editing and note/data entry and layout.
  • MIDI file generation.
  • Playback through JACK.
  • Control over performance from a global level (e.g. change how long non-legato notes or fermatas are) to detailed, technical tweaks like MIDI CC messages as score items.

LilyPond é uma espécie de tipógrafo musical, um sistema de impressão automatizado. Ele produz belas partituras usando como entrada um arquivo de descrição de alto nível.

LilyPond dá suporte a muitos formatos de construção de notação musical, incluindo nomes de acordes, notação de percussão, baixo cifrado, ornamentos, tablaturas de violão/guitarra, notação moderna (notação em cluster e grupo rítmico), tremolos, quiáltera (aninhada) com qualquer duração e mais.

A linguagem de entrada de música baseada em texto do LilyPond pode ser integrada ao LaTeX, HTML e Texinfo de forma transparente, fazendo com que partituras isoladas ou tratados de musicologia possam ser escritos a partir de uma única fonte. Forma e conteúdo são separados, e com a formatação automática especialista do LilyPond, os(as) usuários(as) não precisam ter conhecimento profundo em tipografia para produzir boas notações.

LilyPond produz saída para impressão em PDF, PostScript, SVG ou TeX, assim como MIDI para ser escutado. LilyPond é exportado a partir dos programas gráficos RoseGarden e NoteEdit e pode importar ABC, ETF e MIDI.

LilyPond é parte do projeto GNU.

MuseScore is an Open Source (GNU GPL) music notation software that runs on all platforms supported by Qt5 (GNU/Linux, MacOS X, Windows), and is available in over forty different languages. It features an easy to use WYSIWYG editor with audio score playback for results that look and sound beautiful, rivaling commercial offerings like Finale and Sibelius.

This package provides MuseScore 3. You can install multiple versions of MuseScore in parallel, and upstream recommends doing so, because each major version has a new, incompatible, layout engine, and changing old scores without relayouting them fully with the new version can only be done by the old version. For MuseScore 2, install the musescore package, and expect a musescore4 package to show up in Debian bookworm.

Create, play back and print sheet music for free. Features include:

  • easy-to-use and customisable interface
  • optional dark theme (to focus on the score)
  • tours for first-time and returning users
  • albums combining multiple scores
  • unlimited score length
  • unlimited number of staves per system
  • up to four independent voices per staff
  • score creation wizard and templates
  • easy and fast note entry with a (PC) keyboard, the mouse, including an on-screen virtual (piano) keyboard, or MIDI (step-time, real-time)
  • timewise input (moving subsequent notes/rests), also for unmetered music
  • half-time and double-time paste commands for copy/paste
  • continuous view: focus on the content, scrolling by as an endless ribbon, undistracted by line breaks or page breaks; switch to page view to polish up for printing
  • timeline view
  • automatic part extraction (by staves or voices) and transposition
  • advanced transposition: transpose a selected passage to any key, or by any interval — or even transpose diatonically within the same key
  • repeats, including segnos, codas, measure repeats, advanced repeats; linearisation command to expand repeats
  • dynamics, articulations and other expression markings
  • playback support for almost all notation elements
  • custom text markings
  • style rules that apply to the whole score at once
  • automatic placement system (smart layout), now even more flexible
  • lyrics
  • chord symbols
  • Jazz notation, including lead sheets and slash notation
  • swing and shuffle playback
  • integrated sequencer and two software synthesisers (FluidSynth for SF2/SF3, Zerberus for SFZ), which also can use third-party soundfonts
  • single-note dynamics
  • mixer for instrument levels and effects
  • mixing and panning for individual parts
  • percussion notation
  • sticking (“fingering” for drummers)
  • early music notation
  • cross-staff beaming
  • import of graphics
  • custom key signatures
  • additive time signatures
  • system dividers
  • user-defined score styles
  • cutaway staves
  • pianoroll editor, edit playback parameters of each note individually
  • score comparison tool
  • and much more…

Choir features:

  • powerful lyrics copy and paste tools
  • implode/explode: combine up to four voices on one staff, then separate to individual staves
  • hide empty vocal staves, such as in a piano intro
  • figured bass for historical notation
  • smart lyrics: unlimited verses, with notes and staves automatically spaced, and verse numbers automatically aligned
  • voice leading checker: download the Check Harmony Rules proofreading plugin to check for errors in your part writing, according to standard rules
  • part mixer: mute, solo, or change volume of staves to learn individual lines — settings even apply to MP3 export

Piano features:

  • support for solo + piano (add small staff with different instrument)
  • support for cadenzas (smaller notes and variable length measures)
  • complete notation: pedaling, fingering, cross-staff beaming — you name it; everything needed to write piano sheet music is here

Guitar features:

  • bends, fingerings, and other common guitar notations supported
  • add/remove linked staves any time; enter notes on either standard (pitched five-line) or TAB staff
  • percussion/drumset also included
  • templates include guitar, tablature, guitar+tablature, rock/pop band
  • complete tablature: multiple tab styles available — from note symbols outside the staff to upside-down strings — and linked standard/tab staff pairs
  • Guitar Pro import: MuseScore can now open files from Guitar Pro, so you can easily migrate over. Import filters are improving with every release; GP3, GP4, GP5, GP6, GTP, GPX are currently supported.
  • Fretboard diagrams: 21 default chords for every key, and a powerful editor to create your own — with barre, fret position, and any number of strings
  • multiple or differently shaped dots per string; partial and multiple barres; ability to not show nut; customisable string/fret distance; chord symbols for diagrams and saving those to the palette; etc.
  • beyond guitar: banjo, mandolin, ukulele, oud; custom string tunings; even historical lute tablature: MuseScore does them all.

Orchestral features:

  • templates for common instrumentations
  • custom linked parts (e.g. create choral score from orchestra+chorus): any change you make to the content of any part is immediately reflected in the full score — and vice versa
  • powerful style controls: edit the formatting of parts and score independently — or apply the same style to all parts with one click
  • one-click transposition: instantly switch between transposed and concert pitch: sounding pitches stay the same while the written notes change

Jazz features:

  • templates for Jazz Lead Sheet, Big Band and Jazz Combo
  • real “handwritten” Book-style jazz font for text and chord symbols
  • formatting tools include adding line breaks every X measures
  • instantly switch between transposed and concert pitch
  • intelligent chord symbol: chord names are automatically formatted when you finish typing — plus, they transpose with the notes
  • easy slashes: commands to fill bars with slashes — and to turn notes into rhythmic slashes, and even accent notation above the staff

Marching ensembles features (needs the MDL extension):

  • marching band, indoor percussion, front ensemble, drumline and drum corps (even G bugles); no setup or configuration — select a template, start writing

Band features:

  • diverse templates: concert band, brass band, marching band, battery and pit percussion — ready out-of-the-box (plus big band for jazz)
  • custom linked parts: you can even keep a drumline score linked to a full marching band score and to individual percussion parts

Most elements in MuseScore are laid out automatically on a “virtual note sheet”, with a near professional-quality layout engine, but can also be positioned manually, giving you total control of every score element’s position. The capabilities of MuseScore can be extended via plugins and extensions, and the growing repository on musescore.org contains many plugins submitted by users and an active development team.

MuseScore includes a set of sounds that reproduce common instruments (as defined by General MIDI) without taking up a lot of disk space or memory providing full orchestral and band sounds (with the Drumline extension installed this includes marching percussion). The general (non-Drumline) sound font is available as musescore-general-soundfont Debian package, if you wish to reuse it with other synthesisers.) You can also load any sound font you prefer for a wider variety of sounds or for more realism.

MuseScore can import and export MIDI and MusicXML files, and it can also import from Capella and several other programs. MuseScore can export to PDF, PNG, and other graphic formats, to WAV and other audio formats such as OGG Vorbis and MP3, or to GNU Lilypond for an alternative layout and print option.

MuseScore can upload scores to musescore.com, a score sharing site, and send scrolling sheet music videos to YouTube. In addition to the desktop software, you can rehearse “on the go” with MuseScore mobile apps (which do not support note entry, but many advanced playback functions). Note that all of these are commercial or otherwise non-free offers optionally integrated with, but not part of, the Free notation program. Scrolling video scores feature the notes highlighted in the score as they sound — and highlighted on a virtual piano keyboard below.

Denemo é um programa gráfico de notação musical livre para GNU/Linux, macOS e Windows que deixa você rapidamente entrar notação que é digitada usando o talhador de música LilyPond. Música pode ser digitada pelo teclado do computador, ou executada num controlador MIDI, ou registrada acusticamente num microfone conectado na placa de som do computador.

Denemo usa LilyPond, que gera belas partituras musicais nos mais altos padrões de publicação. Durante a entrada, o Denemo exibe partituras numa forma simples, para que você possa entrar e editar música eficientemente. A diagramação é feita escondida enquanto você trabalha e tem qualidade de publicação sem falhas. Alguns toques finais podem ser feitos na partitura com o ponteiro se necessário. Isto representa uma enorme vantagem prática em relação aos programas populares que precisam que você reposicione notação que vai colidindo a medida em que você entra a música.

Do iniciante ao avançado: Denemo pode ser usado desde uma pequena tarefa de casa a uma Ópera completa. Existe suporte para criar uma ampla gama de notações – tablaturas, cifras, diagramas de braço de violão, bateria, instrumentos transpostos, ossia, ottava, cue, páginas de título, índices, comentários críticos, 'footnotes quoting music' e muito mais com a ampla sintaxe extensiva do LilyPond disponível para ainda mais formas de uso.

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. Source code for the converter is also provided.

Impro-visor
Jazz Improvisation Advisor for the Improviser
License: GPL-2

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.

Audiveris - wnpp
Optical Music Recognition module
Homepage not available
License: GPL
Debian package not available

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.

Bmc - wnpp
Braille Music Compiler
License: GPLv3
Debian package not available

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.

Linuxband - wnpp
GUI front-end for MMA (Musical MIDI Accompaniment)
License: GPL-2+

LinuxBand is a GUI front-end for MMA (Musical MIDI Accompaniment). Type in the chords, choose the groove and LinuxBand will play a musical accompaniment for you.

It’s an open source alternative to Band-in-a-Box featuring:

  • Easy to use graphical interface
  • Open and well-documented data format
  • Output to JACK Midi to facilitate co-operation with other audio

License: BSD
Debian package not available

Tab is a typesetter for lute tablature for renaissance and baroque lutes and theorboes, in both French and Italian notation. You edit a plain text file with special commands to enter the lute tablature, then you run tab to convert that input into PostScript output that you can print or display with the right program.

Ly2video - wnpp

License: GPL
Debian package not available

Ly2video is a Python script for GNU LilyPond and it's able to generate video from user's project. Videos contains moving music staff that is synchronized with playing audio.

Mingus - wnpp
advanced music theory and notation package
License: GPL
Debian package not available

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.

Qrest - wnpp
set of tools for calculations on musical values
License: GPL-3
Debian package not available

Qrest is a toolbox aimed at music production people. It is a GUI application written in C++ and using the Qt libraries.

It helps guessing the tempo of a musical piece, and getting the period in millisecond (and related frequency) of the most common notes durations. It also handles common note variations like dotted notes and triplets.
