Oh, actually I finally got it to work… very simple fix on my end.
Key for me was to add .connection.txt to the end of the file and then it started to work. However, I tried it earlier today also, but got no results. Some magical pleasant thing has happened.
orchidea.fromfile.toroll
and there’s a nice tutorial too.
Thank you @carminecella !
Best wishes,

Hi Maija,
Glad the “swiss knife solution” still works on your system after all, as it does on mine.
All the best,
António
Hello all,
I just discovered this thread and i think Antonio’s idea is great. However, since resources are scarce, and most particularly that Orchidea is not available for Puredata which i think is very unfortunate (for those who work with free software and opensource), i think this should wait a little.

Thanks to everybody for this nice discussion!
Hi, picking up on this old thread. Fwiw i’ve made (yet another…) OpenMusic lib to interface with the cli-version of Orchidea: notification on the OpenMusic forum.
Atm. it uses the cli-version of Orchidea (‘orchestrate’). Running and saving output, and parses it into various OM classes (poly, multi-seq, chord-seq, sound, voice), for further use inside OM.
This lib has perhaps 2 nice features:
a special orch-note class, carrying and displaying the various meta-data from the solution (instrument, dynamics, style, sample…) through OMs various editors, and all the way out to notation (LilyPond, MusicXML)
a voice-allocation algorithm, which supports Orchideas nice feature that one note in a solution can span several segments
You’ll find the sources here: https://github.com/andersvi/OMOrch

Finally, a working Linux solution!
A lot of thanx Anders.

I want to put this in the orch-idea.org website
Thanks, please do! 
I’ll keep working with this, mainly based on what is useful in my own work. I’ll try to tidy up some bits from time to time, and make it presentable for others. Not sure what’s most useful in OM yet, please chime in with suggestions. One thing i hope to do soon is find an easy way to browse all solutions for one particular segment, having the score and sound synced in some way.
Bravo Anders,
Maybe we should point out that we need to rename the lib: OMOrch. Are you planning any tutorials?
Welcome in Orch-Idea adventure !!
Best,
Jerome
Oops, I didn’t see the Workspace inside the lib…
I have this while triggering orchestrate.
Hoping it’s not a true issue… I have the bin folder (0.7 bin) from orch-idea, do I have something to do to install what’s needed ?
Hi Jerome.
Thanks for the bug-report! The path seems to be a left-over from my own copy…
i’ll remove those private paths from the demo-ws.
To fix it now check the OMORch prefs-panel, and make sure you set the paths there to something which makes sense on your on installation.
Something weird in OMOrch preferences :
I can’t change the orchidea ‘orchestrate’ executable path (step 1) I point to
/Desktop/0.7.bin/orchestrate but it doesn’t work
When I change the path to XXX.spectrum.db (step 2), the path is changed (step3) but step 2 is not updated
Step 3 : seems ok
Something weird in OMOrch preferences …
Indeed, for the moment (goes for all OM prefs) you’ll need to hit ‘Apply’ to update the boxes.
but when I try to orchestrate, I have
Hmm, strange. What does your ‘out-files/omorch’ -folder look like?
For easier debugging, it’s probably a good idea if you provide us a mwe, as explained in the README
yes, It when I apply, my window has changed. that’s why the error has changed. see the folder :
MWE :
listener :
Seems ‘orchestrate’ hasn’t placed any output in there yet. The “02riviere…” is made by OMOrch, but clearly something didn’t run wll.
If possible, set up a mwe and post here, or send me privately
Send us also the output in the listener window
Possibly something with white-space in filenames? ( I always forget those, will setup a way to handle them in the lib…)
