Score Formatting and Appearance

Depending on what you're doing, you might want to have more control over what the score transcription looks like. For instance, when exporting MIDI files, you might want to have different voices, with different midichannels, with different names, etc. This tutorial shows how to modify the default appearance of the score transcription in bellplay~.

To learn more, make sure to read the reference documentation for scoreconfig.

## specify score appearance
scoreconfig(
    ## names for each voice staff
    @voicenames 'sine' 'triangle' 'sawtooth' 
    ## set clefs for each voice
    @clefs 'G' 'Alto' 'F' 
    ## pitch tone division — in this case, quarter tone (only visual, does not affect audio)
    @tonedivision 4
    ## show durations as horizontal lines
    @showdurations 1
);
## sinusoidal oscillator as first voice
cycle(
    @frequency 500 @duration 4000
).transcribe(
    @voice 1 @pan 0
);
## triangular oscillator second voice
tri(
    @frequency 300 @duration 3000
).transcribe(
    @onset 1000
    @voice 2
    @pan .5
);
## sawtooth oscillator as third voice
saw(
    @frequency 200 @duration 2000
).transcribe(
    @onset 2000
    @voice 3
    @pan 1
);
## render
